You know what makes me sad ? Is that in the beginning the Gnu/Linux ecosystem
was created like the informatics itself. Something open that will remain open
to study, modify and distribute.
But then the same started to happen in both camps, the convenience start to
gain weight between those that didn't want to lose a few minutes searching,
caring or even simply knowing about. And closed solutions started to appear
in the name of "Just Working". And people let it pass.
Nowadays we have just a few "fighters" that still believe in the original
world created around, and for those wonderful tools that we use everyday.
And I am mostly happy when I see posts like the ones about PRIME support for
the Linux Kernel (for the Optimus nVidia solutions) not supporting the nVidia
blobs since it requires a GPL licensed driver, and then you see a lot of
people saying that they are stupid on not letting nVidia to use their blob
because blaba performance blabla it works and nouveau's not. But then you
have the developers of this solution continuing to say NO and NO, and because
of this we start to see informations like this one :

Publishes Open-Source 2D Driver Code.
Just wanted to say this.
