      I'd say Free/Libre > Open

      I would say, these days (but not so much in the 2000s) that Doctorow and RMS were right and Eric Raymond built the avenue by which we seem to have been figuratively enslaved while looking the other way.

      I wouldn't have a problem with the 'open source' community (vs free/libre) if they actually excluded all propriety software/firmware. For example, @linuxfoundation hasn't been open source since 1996

      It's the main sponsor behind the Linux Kernel, which I was discussing, thought that was more clear

      The Linux kernel is entirely GPLv2.

      There's been binary blobs included in the kernel since 1996. Hence linux-libre. The whole system could be compromised by any such blob.

      No, those blobs are just firmware uploaded to various devices. Perhaps they can compromise the system (same as any other firmware), but they're not part of Linux.

      I guess technically as of 4.14 the proprietary parts are of a different project, but mainline Linux kernel in the majority distros (and for much of history) included lots of blobs

      And linux-libre de-blobs from upstream. Here's the original announcement: https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/anuncio/2010-03-Linux-2.6.33-libre.en.html …

          POWER9's EEH fencing and the other weird advanced alien futuretech features of IBM chips make me wonder why—at all—anyone bothers with x64 at this point, given the bizarre backdoors x64 has.

          Meanwhile, I never thought I'd see the day when a NetBSD wasn't among the first ports to new hardware. :-) Oh well.
