Re: FSF continuously harms Free Hardware

it may seem like it, but router freedom is important in the EU as the
ISP are forcing their own and proprietary routers and FSFE's campaign
enables a lot of people to use their own router which are often Free
Hardware e.g. in Czechia and partially thanks to FSFE's campaign we have
a lot of people doing self-ISP and providing internet to others, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Internet_service_provider and it
seems that majority of those WISP solutions are open-source but don't
quote me on it.

That said I don't believe that FSFE is currently in a position to do
more in terms of Free Hardware, but it seems that majority of it's
members
are very interested in it.
