Re: [Trisquel-users] new MIPS single-board-computer

[adel . afzal]

I heard of the Lemote Yeeloong; that it used a MIPS processor, and that it  
respects freedom.  And I (wrongly?) associated MIPS with software freedom.

Is it up to the manufacturers to disclose hardware documentation?  Just  
because an architecture is free (is MIPS free?), implementation of that  
architecture are not necessarily free?  Please correct me if I'm wrong.
