system76 has produced laptops for years that support Linux, but they have always been rebrands of Clevo. Now that they will be designing their own in-house laptop, Principal Engineer Jeremy Soller has announced that it will be completely open, and licensed under the GPLv3.
Soller:
This will be the most open, modern x86 motherboard design I know of.

As awesome as system76 is, the fact they’re based in the US practically makes them a no-go for someone not from that continent. Shipping and electrical standards make for too much headache.
Maybe someday they’ll get a bit more global.
