Isn't "free Chromebook" the oxymoron to end all oxymorons, as Google took the free Linux ecosystem and exploited it to build a walled garden on top of it that is the exact opposite of the hacker ethos that made the Linxux operating system possible in the first place? Why would a Linux foundation support something that's the opposite of the free software ethos? Might as well give people Windows laptops, since at least MS built their own walled garden instead of using free software to do it.
