Unfortunately, FreeBSD is doing the Open Source world a disservice by allowing blobs and making "special" deals with vendors for distributing such firmware. It is already hurting us, and will hurt everyone, including FreeBSD much more in the future.
If you don't agree to the firmware lincense, don't use it. This *is* redistribution of the firmware, exactly as you suggested, and it will have no detrimental impact in ou attempts to negotiate further.
You are doing the world a disservice by spreading FUD. -matt -- Matt Olander CTO, iXsystems - "Servers for Open Source" http://www.iXsystems.com Public Relations, The FreeBSD Project http://www.FreeBSD.org BSD on the Desktop! http://www.pcbsd.org Phone: (408)943-4100 ext. 113 Fax: (408)943-4101 -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
