I've not signed this.
While I applaud the concept and intention, I see issues with the first 
and possibly last goals, in particular with the wording of the last 
sentence in the first.
As someone who has worked for companies whose existence depends on 
devices they have designed and support, an inkling of the costs involved 
in the creation and making of the devices I see issues with trying to 
make it fit an open source model. If a hardware maker has to design, 
manufacture and support a device to run ... anything ... it will not be 
viable.
