"The GIGABYTE M57SLI-S4 is the first-ever desktop motherboard supported by a Free & Open Source BIOS, thanks to AMD engineer Yinghai Lu who released GPL-licensed code last month. This state-of-the-art motherboard is based on the NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI chipset and AMD's latest Socket AM2." I am not exactly a Free Software evangelist, but I am a strong proponent of open BIOS, for various reasons. Good thing, this.

If this were from Intel, we could have a truly 100% free software system, from the BIOS, to the kernel, to the fully accelerated 3D drivers (Integrated Intel, obviously).
Nonetheless, just one more step in the right direction!
