With the Linux Vendor Firmware Service serving more than 135 million downloads for Linux users updating their system and device firmware, LVFS has been working to get more hardware vendors to contribute either engineering resources or directly contributing annual dues as sponsors. Framework Computer is now the first one to have executed an agreement under these new sponsorship efforts.

Red Hat in employing lead developer Richard Hughes has contributed the most to LVFS/Fwupd's success, the Linux Foundation has also hosted the project since it has shifted into their umbrella, AMD's Mario Limonciello is among the significant contributors, and now Framework Computer is a new sponsor to the project.

framework, the hardware company, gave money to nazis who use open source to promote and normalize their divisive ideologies of hatred. of particular note they donated to the development of omarchy, a wildly unprofessional linux "distribution" put together by the fascist creator of ruby on rails

    That raises more questions than it answers 😅 I appreciate the effort though.

    I run NixOS on a few servers. I remember there being some controversy around them accepting contributions (either money or code — my memory of it is a little fuzzy) from some company that's part of the military industrial complex. Is Framework worse than that?
