Libre OS (Android) is Locked Down on Driod X; Unlock it Using Proprietary OS (Windows)

For whatever reason, Motorola and Verizon has locked down the Android Operating System on the new Droid X phone. The Droid X is loaded up with crapware that can only be removed if you hack the phone to gain root access. The only known way to root the Droid X is to use Windows.

Thanks to Motorola an Verizon for taking one of the greatest advantages of the Android OS, it’s libre software, and making sure that all but a few never benefit from this advantage.

Interesting writtings on Libre Software Philosophy

http://openlife.cc/

I never liked the term open source. I think it misses the point that
having control over modification and expansion of others' ideas has
value. The author substitutes the term "open source" software, the
ability to view source material, for "libre" software, the freedom to
use, modify, share, and learn from source material. The two are
overlapping concepts but they are not equivalent. Where the author
writes "open source" he really means "libre".
