Just a philisophical question. Most of you will know that binary only kernel modules are real evil. You just have to listen to Linus who keeps repeating this. Now I ask myself what is difference between binary only kernel modules and the binary only firmware in the DVB driver?
The following appear to be contradictions in terms: Linux developers want to be able to examine every piece of critical code. Software producers are looking for a way to protect their IP. Can the firmware approach help to resolve this conflict? Or is it just another name for the same old game? I am grateful for your comments.
