Framework laptops do not have open course firmware.
They license their UEFI from Insyde. They have an open source EC, which, while it accomplishes similar things is not the firmware.
What's an EC?
It's the embedded controller. It sits on top of the UEFI and coordinates laptop hardware behaviors between the UEFI and the individual components.
It controls things like "is lid sensor closed? Suspend".
Whereas the UEFI + OS actually handles the suspend.
