Yup, thats a nice way and it will also help promote manufacturers to release a driver for Linux or we as PLUG will advertise that there is no Linux support for such a printer/videocard etc., and people should avoid it if they will use Linux at some point. But, more importantly, the business side of it should help PLUG gets some fund at some point. I am assuming that PLUG would still want to have some form of earning.
