>get a firmer quote from them in terms of price/lead time; what the exact
specs would
My email to raptor was introductory. I did not list specifications and raptor
did
not mention specifications either in their answer. I did not expect raptor to
answer or
answer rejecting.
I think the price is the main issue. It has to be low enough, that most libre
software
people can buy if they want to.
Specifications about a duo core x86 cpu, I should say suffice.
>verify that it would be 100% libre.
My impression is, all the source software regarding a ppc is available. The
license
terms I do not know. Maybe the software license cannot get fsf approval. In
that
case for certain fsf is not going to organize a crowd funding.
I have written think penguin, informing them about raptor. Think penguin
supports
the pc card. Maybe that can stop think penguin from considering a raptor
mainboard.
I am going to write Stallman an email about raptor.
