Exactly the point. Not to mention that allot of us agree with the way it's being done. You want to know how it works in real life? This is an example. You can download the drivers from nvidia of whoever and they don't charge you but when mandrake or red hat or whoever aproaches them and says can we distibute your drivers with our product? The response for allot of these things is yes you can for 1$ for every time you give it out or whatever price they set. I'm not saying nvidia does this but alot of other companies do. So the policy is you have to pay to get them because it costs mandrake to give them out. Now is it fair to say gime gime gime when it costs mandrake to give it out and yet you want it for free. Well that is if it is to be put on the gpl cd's. I understand you pay for it.
