This was not a comment on ubuntu edge per-se, only the likelihood of it actually having free drivers at launch if they are only kickstarting 45k units.

The same thing would be true if it sold a million units.

This implies a dramatic lack of competition in the SoC market if you can't shop around and find a vendor that will at least provide release images to flash devices with openly, if not actual open specification devices with FOSS drivers.

There is a dramatic lack of competition. We find ourselves in the odd position of hoping Intel will come in and shake up the market.
