Well they've announced the CHIP to be more open and supported than actually delivered.
Now that is unfortunately common practice. And due to experiences in the past, Poulsbo, Andriod, I already knew that they would not be able to deliver that, especially at that price point. Hey they even promised opensource 3d graphics if the crowdfunding was successful enough, if I recall correctly.
But that is just us. That might not, and probably is, be true for a lot of their customers, like David. That's we're the evil lies I think. Announcing a "libre" computer but fail to follow it through. Yes there is open source software for you to use, yes there schematics.
Please correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure they did not announce a "libre" computer. They use the term "open source" and "very open source" on their kickstarter page. People in the "Open Source Camp" seem to be more inclined to accept a very open source system with proprietary wifi.
