Ouch. Come on guys, what are you playing at?
Actually, this is news to all of us. Quite obviously, we don't want to support nor advocate non-free software. Specifically for the N800, it was always our intent that the recipient should be a technically knowledgable person with a wish to help liberate the device by erasing the proprietary software from it, and showing others how to.
I think the page that is linked from the mail would explain this, had the URL actually worked. :-)
So we'll look into this, and if there's no way to liberate the hardware before sending it out, we might well have to withdraw those prizes from the raffle to avoid sending non-free software to anyone.
