it is already done separately by FSF supporters who use GPLv3 for it and
FSF is too involved in such development for it to be ignored without
sabotaging the development thus why i am raising this issue here.

So the time for FSF to pitch in is now and FSF's endorsement has a major
impact on free hardware development.

+ from my talks with other FSF supporters and BoD members it seems that
majority supports it.
