In addition, it doesn't do to be snooty about who we decide to ask to Free their drivers. Any Free drivers are a win for the momentum of the Free software movement.
Snooty??!!! Excellent argument - you may just have won me round to your point of view there. Now if I were in a mind to do so, I might counter the word "snooty" with "ignorant", and perhaps "foolish" & "myopic" But I won't. How's this? 2 points:- 1. Why do you want to increase the profits of a company that uses software patents to extort cash? Particularly given the threat that software patents pose to Free Software. 2. Persuading Kodak to open source their drivers is not a "win for the Free Software movement" as you so "snootily" put it. It's begging for support from some company that has no respect for its users. How much of *your* work have you open sourced?
