Hardware freedom
Ten companies that do support free software, in some cases the hardware is free too:
1 Lemote sells netbooks with a free BIOS
2 ThinkPenguin sells Hardware with GNU Linux-libre support
3 Via makes Mainboards compatible with coreboot
4 Qi hardware makes Copyleft hardware
5 XESS makes Hard and Software licensed under GPL and Creative Commons licenses
6 Fritzing Fab allows you to create your own hardware
7 Golden Delicious Computers is not Defective by Design
8 OLIMEX makes Arduino Clones and embedded GNU/Linux hardware
9 Make Play Live makes GNU/Linux based tablets
10 Archos sells Android and GNU/Linux tablets
No free Software (except some HID devices)
1 Apple iPad is Defective By Design
2 Nintendo DSi is Defective by DESiGN
3 Microsoft has it’s Windows 7 Sins
4 Sony PlayStation 3 is incompatible with free software and ran Open Source Linux
5 OpenPandora is incompatible with free software and runs Open Source Linux
Instead of using Open Source Software with Open Hardware, it is better to use copylefted free hard and software.
