There is no problem with giving FreeBSD users who really do want free
software, and freedom of choice, the contact information for who to
talk to at Adaptec. Everyone in the Free Software industry should be
telling all hardware companies what they think about their ways of
doing business, whether i
Theo has already talked with enough people to get the number of over
1,800 adaptec aac raid controllers being currently used by openbsd
users. He has emailed this to Doug, Adaptec's contract for opening
docs, and still nothing. It appears that Adaptec isn't interested in
repeat business for probabl
bsd users just want to do away with it instead,
to get something that works "good enough" instead of real freedom,
more than just freedom of choice.

You don't offer freedom of choice, what you offer is a binary-only
solution, THAT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION, for that card. If you really did
