Please note that FSF is NOT about privacy, it's about Free Software! They don't basically care about privacy as long as their primary requirement "full FOSS" isn't met. They claim (rightfully) that FOSS is a warranty for privacy (if somebody actually inspects the code), but their primary goal is FOSS and privacy comes with that as a side effect - so no FOSS, no relevance in any of the secondry effects achieved by any other means.

You know what just occurred to me? GolDeliCo shipped the GTA04 with NO OS AT ALL, so I wonder how and what the FSF would ever approve for that hardware (aviation approval for submarines?).
