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.
