To get anything resembling an ideal world, we must be firm in our demands.
Binary drivers are not acceptable in the long run, and we should make it
as undesirable as we can for vendors to produce them.

Putting pressure on vendors works, and things are much better now because
of it. You used to basically need the proprietary browser Netscape 4 to
view web sites that had images. Clearly, we've come a long way.
