Now this is interesting. Might almost be first linux OS to be quite so, guess it makes it easier when OS is hardware specific. On Thu, 2012-10-25 at 16:37 +1300, Peter Reutemann wrote:
"The makers of the Raspberry Pi credit card-sized computer today announced every last piece of code running on the computer’s ARM chip has been open sourced. While the computer could already run several Linux-based operating systems, not all the drivers were open source. Going fully open source prevents users from having to use drivers that are proprietary or reverse-engineered, and it should make it easier to create new Raspberry Pi-targeted OS ports."
