FSF announces criteria for hardware endorsement program "Respects Your Freedom"

This will have little or no impact, as pretty much the only hardware vendors that will be interested are those whose hardware is of no interest to Windows or Mac users. Why? Because of requirements like these:<p><pre><code> Any product-related materials that mention the FSF endorsement must not also carry endorsements or badges related to proprietary software, such as "Works with Windows" or "Made for Mac" badges, because these would give an appearance of legitimacy to those products, and may make users think the product requires them. However, we don't object to clear factual statements informing the user that the product also works with specific proprietary operating systems. </code></pre> and<p><pre><code> The seller must use FSF approved terminology for the FSF's activities and work, in all statements and publications relating to the product. This includes product packaging, and manuals, web pages, marketing materials, and interviews about the product. Specifically, the seller must use the term "GNU/Linux" for any reference to an entire operating system which includes GNU and Linux, and not mislead with "Linux" or "Linux-based system" or "a system with the Linux kernel". And the seller must talk about "free software" more prominently than "open source."</code></pre>

I'd be happy with a certification that something runs without proprietary drivers.

Are the FSF's endorsements really worth anything? How many people on HN are using an FSF endorsed linux distro? The full list is here: <a href="http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html</a> Spoiler: Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian aren't on it.<p>What's the point of having such lists if they don't appear to exert any pressure on entities to change? (The aformentioned distributions seem in no hurry to move to compliance.)
