Can someone with an "ycombinator" account please answear to the message
at [[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13914737]].

It's a common misunderstanding to think that the Linux-libre projeto
forbids loading non-free modules/drivers by user's request after the
kernel was installed. In fact, it's a *bug* that is very hard to fix due
to the way that the Linux kernel itself is made, as Alexandre Oliva,
member of Linux-libre project, states at
[[http://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/2013-11-08-linux-libre-interview-by-bruce-byfield.en.html]]
(when answering the question "Is there anything that the project wants
to do that it can't do now? In general, what are the future plans for
the project?").


Respectfully, Adonay.
