Offtopic: on distribution of proprietary softwareOfftopic: on distribution of proprietary softwarePosted Aug 11, 2009 19:06 UTC (Tue) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)In reply to: Offtopic: on distribution of proprietary software by pjm Parent article: Shuttleworth: On cadence and collaboration
it can be argued that allowing the use of proprietary drivers can increase the use of free drivers as well
remember that if someone wouldn't use linux due to the lack of a free driver for some component they aren't going to be using the free drivers for everything else in their system. so allowing for one proprietary driver can cause a dozen free drivers to be used that otherwise wouldn't be used.
