April has signed the Free Software Foundation's statement against restrictions on software installation on computers named "Secure Boot" (however, it is currently up for grabs whether this technology will live up to its name, or will instead earn the name "Restricted Boot").
This sytem is part of what we call "treacherous computing", whose purpose is to prevent users from controlling their computers for the benefit of a few monopolistic companies. This is one of the dangers threatening Free Software.
Thank you for spreading this statement: Stand up for your freedom to install Free Software.
