Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Google secretly behind Purism? I might be reading into it too much.

True, but Purism uses Coreboot, not Libreboot.  On the whole, I think Purism  
is a diversion for Google to advance in the hardware market.  Now, Google has  
started to create its own CPUs  
https://www.wired.com/2016/05/googles-making-chips-now-time-intel-freak/

Intel is obviously profiting from the Management Engine (ME) on its  
processors, and Purism (or Google?) wants to try to take down Intel by trying  
to get them to remove the ME from their CPUs  
(https://puri.sm/posts/petition-for-intel-to-release-an-me-less-cpu-design/).  
 However, Intel will be basically replaced by Google.
