Linspire tempts white-box vendors with CNR royalties (Linux-Watch) Posted Sep 17, 2006 23:59 UTC (Sun) by 3vi1 (guest, #39830) [Link] Good for them. I support anything that promotes the use of Linux, even if it's not "free".
If people try this, and find it works for them, it's more likely that those people might contribute back to the various projects whose software they use. Worst case, they write an e-mail when they're pissed-off, explaining why the software they're trying to use isn't as easy to use as Windows (to them) and storm off... and other contributors fix the shortcomings.
