[Francesco Potortì]

Lettera aperta della FSF per evitare che il nuovo BIOS richiestao per
Windows 8 diventi un motivo di esclusione del software libero.

Da diffondere.

We, the undersigned, urge all computer makers implementing UEFI's
so-called "Secure Boot" to do it in a way that allows free software
operating systems to be installed. To respect user freedom and truly
protect user security, manufacturers must either allow computer
owners to disable the boot restrictions, or provide a sure-fire way
for them to install and run a free software operating system of
their choice. We commit that we will neither purchase nor recommend
computers that strip users of this critical freedom, and we will
actively urge people in our communities to avoid such jailed
systems.
