So if they just say "it runs on Linux" Of course that would be why I keep getting submissions from vendors in my mailbox. Many of them also get the fact that there is a lot less overhead with many of their Linux submissions that are GPL because 95% of it consists of "use code already in the kernel". ALi for example recently contributed support for the M5228. It's one if and a PCI identifier. Sure beats writing an entire proprietary driver.
