Re: [Trisquel-users] Is this Librem13 fully free this time?

The X86 systems that have been free'd are from companies that are notoriously  
hostile IMHO in taking away users freedoms. Lenovo (ie IBM's PC division  
originally) in particular started the trend of adding digital restrictions to  
the BIOS to prevent users from switching wifi cards. This in turn prevents  
users from moving to a free operating system. Apple is the other. Apple's  
notorious for taking advantage of users. Even more so than Microsoft  
(Microsoft might be held back by there monopoly though so I should be careful  
of assuming it's anything other than out of legal concerns). They don't even  
use standard components any more so switching isn't an option. You can feel  
free to write off this rant if you like. There are a lot of really horrible  
companies I'd prefer not promote- even if we're all dependent on them.
