" It's a tragedy of the commons, and if such a cycle continues it will reach
such a point that hardware makers will stop releasing free drivers at all..."
If the rational behind this is to maintain a edge over the competition,
perhaps they would release free drivers once newer hardware comes out or at
least for lower end hardware. It may provide a good reason to hold on to
some of the hardware we have now. There are so few fully free distibutions
now, if we ever do get to that point we might have none. Richard Stallman
said that it's better for a program to die than become non-free, but if it's
impossible to run a computer without non-free software then what?
" these communities don't give one tinker's damn" ... haven't heard that one
used in a long time.
