Hey, if you can modify the firmware at will, you can kill those checks. I 
don't remember where I found the source. Someone on IRC pointed it out. IIRC, 
it was a non-copyleft license, similar to BSD.

For someone that has both the time and knowledge, it's worth a shot to port 
coreboot to it. The board is only $60. It's one of those things where the sum 
of the parts blows up... We ask intel to tell us how to init their memory 
controller... they tell us how to init their memory controller on the quark... 
we ignore the quark because of unverified concerns.

This is a pretty good chance to tell intel, "libre software works, bitch!" 
rather than have them tell us "open source doesn't work, bitch!"

You all think about it,
