   @SuperSnekFriend The design for hardware is not equivalent to source code, as you're not going to get very far trying to type on the design of a keyboard; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-hardware-designs.en.html
   
   It is possible to license the design for hardware under the GPLv3-or-later, but it seems that if you get such free hardware design manufactured in Israel, chances are there's going to be a bomb added to the hardware.
   
   Maybe you should get into the habit of opening up pocket-carry hardware and looking for bombs - although that will require avoiding hardware that can't be opened without damage.

     The mass casualty incident in Lebenon is a very good example why we need FOSS for hardware and not just software. If you and your people don't control those two things, they are owned and at the mercy of apathetic to malicious entities.
     
     Stallman was right. De-Jewgle, De-Crapple, and De-Micro$hit your life. Learn tech and learn to be productively paranoid.
