I would indeed do that and it's what I do today. This situation will
turn in our favor if even more people could see that this is the only
way we can make progress. By manifesting demand, more and more
pressure will be visible. If they don't bend on this subject, I'm sure
we'll get a hero in the form of a free hardware project.

Sorry, but that's non sense, in my opinion.
