We could pick a few suitable models (that are widely available for
several years, even as cheap used ones) and crack the blobs.

This approach already worked for several GPUs, starting w/ NVidia.
Perhaps we should try to bundle the resources, perhaps even create
a foundation which primary purpose is crack and disclose all
blob drivers and firmware of general computers and destroying
vendor lockins (including despotic restriction malware)
