Luke Leighton is an advocate for Libre Ethical Technology. First known for the network reverse engineering that brought Samba its NT Domain interoperability, he has witnessed Open Source Software move into commercial applications that left users with no control over their own legitimately purchased devices. Luke created the EOMA68 project in response to this trend yet realised that with most mobile class processors requiring proprietary software of some kind, and containing Boot-level DRM, decided to start the LibreSOC initiative as well.
