1 Hi,
2
3 I'm worried with the so-called "Treacherous Computing" appearance in
4 recent Linux kernels. I have read about it on EFF & GNU portals and
5 can't see any benefits for Free Society by supporting this technology.
6 Also it looks like this TPM drivers were written by IBM employees. I
7 suspect IBM pushed this into kernel. I understand what this drivers come
8 in source form under GPL, anybody can just don't compile them in, but
9 again what benefits this drivers can bring for casual Linux user?

11 Regards.
