What do you mean, "we should also specify using only free hardware also"? For our users? Debian already specifically supports using non-free software for our users. For the project itself? Well, we still use non-free software (e.g. qmail, glimpse), so before we even think about "free hardware" (whatever that means) we need to stop using the non-free software. Or do you mean as part of the DFSG? How would that possibly make sense? We can't copy and redistribute hardware on our CDs, whatever the "license" on it is...
