Intel is not the user. They are a vendor, a publisher.

By calling them "users" and saying "users have freedom" you are conflating things needlessly.

We are the users here. We severely lack freedom. (Thanks BSD!)




Using copyright laws to force a person to release the fruits of their labor is not a definition of freedom that is widely agreed upon.


You are confusing things here. It is not about releasing fruits of labor. Intel is screwing us over and it is about stopping them.


Its not as black and white. At my company, the company owns the machines, and we have been looking at using Intel's AMT internally. I don't think Intel is screwing us.


That is cool. Good for you. I don't want to steal anything from Intel. I just want a way to opt out of ME and its siblings.

You seem like a troll or a bittered person.
