The Free Software Foundation [fsf.org] has announced that it has certified fifteen additional devices to its Respects Your Freedom Hardware Endorsement List [fsf.org]. From the announcement [fsf.org]:

Today's certifications include multiple laptops: the TET-X200, the TET-X200T, the TET-X200s, the TET-T400, the TET-T400s, and the TET-T500 are all now available for purchase. Technoethical also received certification on two docking stations: the TET-X200DOCK for X200 series laptops and the TET-T400DOCK for T400 and T500 series laptops. The TET-D16 is the second mainboard certified by the FSF. Technoethical now offers a wide range of RYF-certified WiFi USB adapters, adding the TET-N150HGA, the TET-N300, and the TET-N300HGA to its line-up. They also have two internal WiFi devices: the TET-N300DB and the TET-N450DB. Finally, Technoethical now offers the first certified Bluetooth device — the TET-BT4 USB adapter.

Most of these consist of the Libreboot'd Thinkpads and Atheros WiFi chips that have previously been certified by other suppliers, however the Thinkpad Docks had not been previously certified. All fifteen devices are supplied by Technoethical [tehnoetic.com], based out of Romania.
