It's really only the hardware firmware that necessarily needs to be open (from a FOSS perspective). There's no reason I can think of that FOSS software must run on non-proprietary hardware to be aligned with the FOSS ethos. It's the firmware that's the issue. Alas, open hardware is being worked on in various ways and I think we all will benefit. It's okay that we are all doing what we need to in the interim. I don't see the value in shitting on each other anymore. I've done it. Most have. It just isn't worth it if we are all trying to go in the same general direction.
