dont dream on it!dont dream on it!Posted Aug 2, 2005 18:38 UTC (Tue) by mmarq (guest, #2332)In reply to: Bug, feature; who can say? by smitty_one_each Parent article: Microsoft's DRM vision
" I foresee a thriving market for motherboard manufacturers using GPL code from Linux BIOS onwards... "
Only if Linux attracts a substancial proportion of common user base( many now on Windows), and even then, they will hesitate much more to trow something in GPL, than to a closed NDA inspection of their "driver source code" by Microsoft.
Something could *should* be done in the driver model in the realm of out of tree non-derivative coding in Linux kernel, to overcome this *MS Major Lock*, or your statement above could only encounter as an answer: keep on dreaming!
