But you are creating that incentive. Think about the bigger picture and
you might actually get things to happen in the way you desire.

For Free read useless. It was those kind of narrow views that left the
free software movement so irrelevant for so many years. More sensible
approaches like kernel-firmware.rpm work better.

I also found it amusing last time I looked that the free software extremists
were removing firmware which wasn't code, removing firmware which you'd
write in hex anyway etc.
