honestly I would really love to bring only free software (damn, my nvidia driver would break the rules anyhow...) to piksel.
haha, this is an important point : how many people at pixel will use free driver? moreover : and how many people will use free HARDWARE? i don't think there is a lot's of diference between hardware and software : it's just an other job, but same problematic.
Software can be modified, hardware can't. It's easier to sell and buy physical goods (like food), but it's easier to share ideas, so harware companies consider their drivers as being part of their hardware. They are so wrong... One day, we will build our own hardware based on shared ideas and software. -- Marc
