If changes to the software can configure the device to perform different tasks, or to perform better the tasks it already performs, denying these freedoms to owners or users of the devices amounts to inflicting willful harm on them.

Then why don't you limit your efforts to contributing something useful to the kernel, like free firmware replacements?

Why anyone would tolerate or support this sort of abuse, other than other similar abusers, is beyond me.

If you really cared about freedom, you would stop insulting people who exercised the very basic right to choose what works for them.
