The Free Software Foundation has released a paper detailing the five actions major hardware manufacturers can take to foster a mutually beneficial relationship with the free software community: support free software drivers, end the “Microsoft Taxâ€, remove proprietary BIOS locks, support a free BIOS, and reject Digital Restrictions Management (DRM).
And it is not completely theoretical, you already have hardware that can be “open” such as this first desktop motherboard on which you can replace the BIOS : GIGABYTE M57SLI-S4.
To do so you have to use the LinuxBIOS.
