Distributions quote of the week

The easy position for the company to take is to sell hardware without any software, and then it's not liable for the software, because it doesn't ship any software, nor does it point you to binaries it recommends. With the current way the CRA is drafted, if it points you to projects where it's upstreamed its hardware support (where it doesn't have control - e.g. Linux kernel), then they're completely safe; the hardware they sell is developer kits, non-functional as a phone, and to make it functional, you have to buy the devkit, and find suitable software separately.
