The Raspberry Pi may be openwashed, but it's not really that open.

edit: oh no, I've run afoul of the Broadcom shills. Oh well.

True assessment or not, it's not a compelling reason in itself to encourage less free use(r)s of it.

Beg pardon? The parent post was whining that running Windows wasn't in the open spirit of the project. The project was never open in a meaningful way, so it doesn't seem like a problem at all to do so.

I'm not encouraging any particular software package, simply correcting a misconception.
