The Free Software Foundation has very little leverage here. Only actual customers spending or not spending actual currency have any leverage. For example, if the US Federal Government would cancel major hardware purchases because the machines could not run Linux, there would be change.
Or the other way round, they would cancel linux purchase as they can't support secure boot as such Government deal the security is a major concern. I know this sounds pathetic as they are blinded by the marketing term which not really reflect the dark, but that's possible to happen so we'll still need FSF here to get more people understand. Like the term "restricted boot" they use be recognized by the public. Thanks, Michael
