FSF Certifies First Device in "Respects Your Freedom" Program

Posted by Unknown on from the free-as-in-hardware dept.

Earlier this year, the Free Software Foundation announced a hardware endorsement campaign for hardware that respects the rights of its owner (no DRM, runs Free Software, support for open formats, no or freely licensed patents, etc.). Now, they've announced that the Lulzbot AO-100 3D Printer is the first device to pass certification and be endorsed by the FSF. Source code to both the hardware and software is available, naturally.

    I look forward to the first compliant 2D inkjet and laser printers, even more so if they are affordable.
