Holy moly, $100k a year each. I hope this more than covers LVFS’ costs and give them enough headroom to keep improving it.
For these companies it must be pocket change, but that can be a lot of money if the LVFS is efficient enough.

Dell and Lenovo both sell Chromebooks, which technically run a variant of Linux. Those laptops are especially popular in schools. It’s smart investment on their part and broadens their options longer term. All in all a net positive on all fronts.

as large hardware vendors, i’m pretty sure they were to getting to the point where they would lose features or even access to the service if they didn’t start paying-in.
