Closed firmware in hardware is absolutely not any better than closed firmware bundled with the kernel.

In fact, it's worse, since it's impossible to reverse engineer.

Anyway, if the announcement had been served with respect to the original kernel that they handicapped, I'd keep my trap shut, but it wasn't.
