For real tho

The serious answer is to whatever your country's internet regulation agency is (assuming your in the EU, else you're out of luck). So for example, in France that would be the CNIL, in Germany it's the BfDI, etc.

That's, for example, how VLC can use patented codecs. France doesn't allow for software patents, meaning that as VLC is produced it France, they can use all the codecs they want...

Phosh 0.37.0

Probably never. Gnome is working on their own mobile port. If I'm not mistaken this is partly due to the fact that Phosh and Gnome diverged too far from one another. Although I think some Phosh code is being reused.

What devices run with free firmware?

Reply in thread

I mean... Depends what you mean by 100% free firmware... If you mean only the boot firmware, that's the case for PCs like the ThinkPads T400, T500, R500, W500, X200, as well as the Dell Latitude E6400. Note Libreboot even recommends the latter for new full libre buys, as it can be software-flashed without disassembly.

But if you mean 100% free including EC firmware, wireless firmware, and disk firmware, then this will probably never happen, or at least not until a very very long time.
