Yes. Once users start depending on proprietary drivers, they have already lost the game. I am reminded of this discussion from Linus.

http://lwn.net/1999/0211/a/lt-binary.html

"Basically, I want people to know that when they use binary-only modules, it's THEIR problem. I want people to know that in their bones, and I want it shouted out from the rooftops. I want people to wake up in a cold sweat every once in a while if they use binary-only modules."


If Linus got everything right, Red Hat could ship stock kernels and no one would need their support services.
