NO, NO, f??k applications and OSes that depend exclusivly on DRM,... the idea of allowing them is only because some people might need them... dont forget that, now is clear, that you can have a superior server and a superior desktop based only on "open-Source"!... and you dont put DRM in an application that has the code "open" because it dosent make sense!, and much less for "Open-Format" content(web, pictures,sound, video),... it only makes sense in cases of allowing Open Source to communicate with applications and content that have DRM but provide a "PUBLIC KEY or LINUX KEY" - ( i'm thinking of photoshop,web, pictures,sound, video,...)
If applications and content that have DRM but do not communicate whit other applications and content whitout DRM (opposite of all Open-Source applications and all Open-Format content), "IS THE GENERAL STANDARD" than M$ has already won, a "we" better start to dismantle WWW consortium, GNU, OSDL,... because using computers is, at least, from the very beginning a flud of private keys autentication... and theres no "CRACKING" that can save it!
But if things go better for the public side, you'll have "Open" dominating and you can have DRM, because no one, beside M$, is going to close himself in the cold.
