In a word: "control" (for users)

### Proposed

No NDAs for anybody: vendors, employees, collaborators, etc

Don't ship with binary blobs
- we don't host them or ship them
- but don't go out of the way to disallow users to install what they want

Hackability
- Accessible and documented internal interfaces
- Good documentation

No technical secrets
- Published development repositories

Others should be able to recreate the hardware
- Use only easily source-able, openly documented components and chips with 
  minimal export restrictions
- Full hardware design/manufacturing files in various formats

Understand and publish labor practices of anything we manufacture/sell
- visits, photos, contact information


### Unsure


Avoid rent-seeking behavior in any business model
- don't abuse "control" or trusted position

Complete transparency of finances, "partnerships"

Absolutely no licensing or patent issues
- USB ids
- WiFi patent worries
- hire lots of lawyers to go everything with a fine tooth comb?
- best effort sufficient?

### Dreams

"I want to build an internet that's not dependant on the whims of any one group
at all"

Building better/new things as well as fixing problems/bugs/holes 
(not just-a-libre-XYZ, also shiny and new)
