I personally would prefer to see the requirement for the names of firmware files to not me mentioned anywhere lifted, and for ConnochaetOS to be reconsidered. I've given it some thought some time ago, and I think it's silly. Linux is going to have to have a specific name for every firmware file, and if the only firmware file that does the job for a particular device, of course it's going to carry that name. Consider the case of shebangs. Back before the GNU project started, would it have been recommending the proprietary sh program that existed in Unix to write "!/bin/sh" at the top of a shell script even if the intention was to not /use the script until GNU Bash was developed and could be used instead? It just seems a bit absurd. -- Julie Marchant https://onpon4.github.io Protect your emails with GnuPG: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org
