The real pointThe real pointPosted May 16, 2006 8:58 UTC (Tue) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091)In reply to: The real point by einstein Parent article: GPL concerns halt Kororaa live CD (NewsForge) Dude, relax. I'm not condemning you in any way! I have used proprietary drivers when I have had to, even if I prefer to use free software. I use Windows at work when I'm forced to. I still prefer to use libre software; otherwise, why bother? For me, freedom is my most important need and the biggest strength in Linux. Nevertheless, I think a free software project has some responsibilities, first and foremost to comply with the licenses. And if it is a technologic showcase, requiring proprietary drivers shows a shortcoming of libre software, not a strength. If all you want is cool 3D you could use a number of proprietary alternatives. Until it is really free I don't see the advantage of running a 3D desktop on top of Linux.
