Well, good for all they may publish as free software. But that "firmware be open source (code) or freely distributable (binaries)" sounds terrible. Instead of just sticking to free software, OCP just invent their definition for something that's "open source or not". Just as exciting as a label in your cookie bag saying "all ingredients come from bio agriculture or edible chemicals".

An alternative to Power for open source desktops sounds really nice.
