I think hardware design freedom is as important as software freedom because of
 | 
			
		||||
the same reasons I think free software is important.  The fact that modifying
 | 
			
		||||
hardware is much more difficult than modifying software is irrelevant as the
 | 
			
		||||
ability to do so it still useful, and as gaining the knowledge behind a design
 | 
			
		||||
is also still useful.
