Let’s not forget the words of PUBPAT’s Eben Moglen:
“hardware that resists the freedom of software is a very dangerous form of counterrevolutionary resistance.”
I have met with these folks (Eben included) before on related topics…while I have never directly touched upon Patriot/TPL, I can tell you that they would have a real problem with the proprietary nature of MMP.
It is true that Eben Moglen and others are very actively meeting with the biggest tech companies in the world…
