+ Intel says no to permitting firmware redistribution
+ misc@, November 8, 2004
+ Theo recounts the struggle to get Intel to provide redistributable
+ versions of the firmware for their wireless chipsets, and their
+ ultimate refusal to allow OpenBSD to redistribute the chipsets.
+ Includes a caveat about Intel's disingenuous "FAQ", typical of many
+ corporate FAQs that answer questions nobody actually thought
+ to ask, and don't truthfully answer the questions you want hard answers to.
+ At the end Theo names the names (and their emails) that need to be contacted
+ by large numbers of end-users and developers if Intel is to change
+ (yes, this is a hint).
+ Of interest is that this posting to one of our mailing lists was
+ picked up on the
+ Screaming
+ Electron Forum and from there reported on
+
+ SlashDot, where it is accompanied by a link to SlashDot's paper
+ on effective advocacy (be firm, but also be polite).
