Interpretation of the clauses require clarification. Link does not lead to more detailed explanations. "s/w that replaces a mechanical/electromagnetic device" includes proprietary drivers. If a patented proprietary driver exists for a device on a free o/s, then nobody may be allowed to write a free s/w driver? Whatever, the law is still very much against open hardware. Best A.
