Fully open source componentry, and eventually CPUs, is a medium term
goal for those targetting physical freedom in a technological world.

The EOMA project is still plodding away:

along with other open hardware projects.

In the capitalist/ consumerist world, the power of the consumer is
limited to his/her choice of where to spend (or not spend) their
dollars.

And creators, those with capacity above mere consumption, can put
their time and efforts towards such projects.

Good luck all,
