They have a "secondary processor exception" that requires nonfree firmware to be hidden and immutable, leading to nonsense like this:https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-solving-the-first-fsf-ryf-hurdle/ …

Also RYF is a joke in practice; if you actually look at the list of certified devices, it's a bunch of off-the-shelf stuff that is largely identical to something you can buy at any random shop, and a bunch of proprietary ROMs are involved, but those are exempt.

Remember how as a response to AMD releasing all their documentation and making their blobs freely redistributable, the FSF returned the favour by... Only certifying NVIDIA based laptops as RYF, because they *had* to reimplement them from the start to make things work?
