      @mmu_man @sjvn @ZDNet @linuxfoundation How much is a key though? Isn't that just key-signing authority? Isn't that cost negligible?

      @johnobeto @sjvn @ZDNet @linuxfoundation it's more a question of freedom I think.

      @mmu_man @sjvn @ZDNet @linuxfoundation In this case, securing the OS benefits all. I see it, if that's the only issue, as a plus.

      @mmu_man @sjvn @ZDNet @linuxfoundation Goog. Good. Why doesn't Linux dev it's own BIOS? Simple, right? Tell me: why won't open source do it?

          @johnobeto Why not develop their own hardware, bios, chips, the whole enchilada. Everyone who wants 100% freedom should be contributing.
