<p>For maintaining sustained growth in the development and use of
|
|
software, the broad availability of general purpose computers is
|
|
crucial. FSFE's goal is to ensure that the owners of IT devices are
|
|
always in full and sole control of them.</p>

</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Evolving the computer as a general purpose machine over the past
|
|
decades, our society has created a powerful tool to perform all kinds of
|
|
tasks with a single machine. Now IT manufacturers have discovered that they
|
|
may have an economic interest to arbitrarily limit what these machines can
|
|
achieve.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The entity who eventually controls which software can be executed on a
|
|
device and thus determines the specific functions the device performs,
|
|
ultimately can control any data processed and stored by the device. In
|
|
result, the owner of an IT device may not be in sole control of their own
|
|
data any more.</p>

<p>
|
|
With a function called "Secure Boot", which will be deployed in computers starting 2012, manufacturers of IT hardware and software components are striving to get into a position where they permanently control the IT devices they produce.
