As if a whole phone is better... That's not a requirement with a yubikey anyway. Mine hangs on a lanyard on a dust plug. Many people have yubikey nanos and basically leave them plugged in their laptop all the time.
>I was talking about the free beer kind of free, but it's not accurate to say YubiKey is all free (libre)
Kryptonite is not libre. It's not even free. It's all rights reserved.

So is RMS, assuming device software is fixed. See his comments on microwave ovens. Yubikey fits this description. Firmware is not updatable, for better security. Anyone who is trying to make a controversy out of what yubico is doing is either more extreme than RMS, dumb, or a competitor.
