As Professor Anderson of Cambridge University pointed out last September Microsoft would fall foul of EU monopoly law if they cooked Windows 8 Logo requirements so as to cut out GNU/Linux.
In January it transpired Microsoft are doing the opposite with x86 logo requirements, they're insisting GNU/Linux boot must be possible. But they're locking ARM PCs. In March I posted here a summary of a letter from my MEP / European Deputy where at my prompting she has asked the European Commission to consider if even locking ARM PCs is a violation of European Law. See it all on my home page. http://andrewlindley.co.uk/ The FSFE is right, the _general_ practice of producing restricted boot computers has to fought or we're limited to jailbreaking new devices on a case by case basis and general purpose computing devices are under threat. But as far as 'Secure Boot' goes, I repeat YHBT.
