-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dean,
Actually, as this was originally ruled a duplicate of Bug #1 - I think it may have been changed, although there was still some discussion of whether it is or not - it would be a concern for marketing. Fixing Bug #1 is the #1 goal of this team and part of our mission statement. By getting FOSS access to proprietary drivers, we make it easier for people to switch to Ubuntu from Windows. This is why I proposed a marketing project to organize a letter writing campaign to companies like Belkin and Broadcom to get them to lift their restrictions and include FOSS installation on the disks they provide with their equipment - not just Windows and Mac.
