I have a question. Could you brainiacs please
explain something I'm not clear
on? What does
FSF mean by this, from a technical
standpoint:
Furthermore, addressing the threat of Restricted Boot by
weakening the license of the bootloader is backwards. With a weaker license,
companies will now have a form of advance permission to obstruct the user's
ability to run modified software. Rather than work to make sure this situation
does not happen -- for example by enforcing the proper Secure Boot
implementation they say they "strongly support in [their] own firmware
guidelines" -- Ubuntu has chosen a path which explicitly allows Restricted
Boot.
