Metamorphosis > News > Richard Stallman on Free BIOS: "Stallman accused Intel that the company does not cooperate with the movement and called for a boycott of their products. He said that AMD is the most cooperative company with free software movement.
Stallman thinks that idea that free BIOS is an acute problem is not accepted from all community. Some do not think that closed source software is unethical, only that it is likely not to be as reliable. But, for the free software movement, freedom is the main issue and they have to solve this problem with or without their help."
I like Stallman`s definition of free software. He use "free" as in the word "freedom" or in "free speach", and don´t care so much for free as "free beer". It is a good thing as human to be free as long as you dont compromise other peoples freedom. Many people in the world is tired of the harrassement from the rich part of the world, and they want to be free as in "freedom", not as in "free beer".
