You could probably leave the word "linux" out without making that statement any less true. The plague of NIH is all over the place, reinventing things that already work instead of re-using or adapting existing technology.

Hopefully purism's contributions upstream will benefit the wider open source world -- maybe even including sfos.

Now that that's out of the way, I'm kinda disappointed that the Librem 5's "kill switches" sound like they're really just "do not start" ("do not conceive"?) switches. I hope I'm misreading that.

Ed., I guess I did misread that.
