> endorsement / promotion of the X60 [...] with non-free EC firmware and a dial-up modem that requires non-free software to work

Sorry, I may need a source on this. My X60 boots perfectly without any non-free firmware, and everything works (except the wireless card I swapped in, I don't know if also the original needed them). I'm asking for a source because I would like to understand how they endorsed it. If it boots without problems and you need an external dongle to get wifi I don't see a problem with that, from a freedom standpoint.

Really, I'm not trying to be a contrarian, just trying to better understand where my money is going.

EDIT: typo
