You don't seem to get it, GNU was founded on certain beliefs, and just because those beliefs are now entering the mainstream does NOT mean RedHat and other strong believers should reverse their decisions. Take a look at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Members to see how anti-competitive Linux is in the tech industry. Anyone that wants in can contribute and have a say in the direction of it... No one owns Linux, all you have to do is play by the rules. > You can't choose to cater/not cater.

I'll remind you it's ILLEGAL to have non-free code link against GPL code. The price you pay for that is that you get drivers a little late, oh well. Windows users have been perfectly fine using a system that doesn't even support their hardware out of the box. No one is suing ATI or Nvidia, but they are some of companies not abiding by the rules. DRI is working as fast as they can though to create a good story despite that. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
