"" 1 )The issue is not accept binary only modules... really who cares about them ??... if anybody does, then its not their business, unless their politic is to outlaw close source SW. ""

To clarify someone more confused... binary only modules don't happen inside Linux dev trees of course, that is not what i'm suggestong.

They happen plenty outside... and that is an incontrovertible fact today, NOTHING to worry about... AND NO LEGAL PROVISION should stick... it is END USERS that are requesting them... Linux kernel can only gain by accepting, take advantage of interfaces that don't banish that, and learn... otherwise it is only making hunger against "Linux" itself, because making very cumbersome for IHV to offer those modules by private outlets, instead of public downloads only to avoid any protest is not going to happen... in the end is that nobody can or should force anyone if those don't want to cooperate in any case... by apply sane rules(interfaces)...

Funny enough... everybody is in " wrapper mania" because that suits the big SW houses in linux business, and the devs are afraid to loose their jobs.. so they don't protest about tainting now !!?... when they should stop "modprob" "insmod" not the likes of DKMS!!!? ... savy?
