Intel: Only "Open" for Business
,----[ Quote ]
| These vendors often want a quiet private discussion, because in a

| the end do absolutely nothing. They do not want a noisy public
| discussion, because then they look bad. But they DESERVE TO LOOK BAD,
| because they are being bad to those who bought their hardware!

|
| By withholding, Intel is being an Open Source fraud.

|
| So let's win back the rights to run the hardware we purchased.

| Please feel free to let other open source communities know about this
| matter. Thank you.
