If the day ever comes that some hardware maker decides to write his own driver for Linux (say a maker of a win-modem decided to write a linux driver and throw the disk in the box) but did NOT license under the GPL, choosing to keep it propritory would that be so bad?
As long as such software came with the hardware, I can see no difference between that, and buying a copy of Wordperfect for Linux. We already have commerical X servers and sound drivers available which are NOT licensed under the GPL. You don't HAVE to buy these, unless you feel that they are what you need, and worth the price. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
