+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).
