With the recent push from OpenBSD to open firmwares to redistribution as well as obtaining new documentation for several wireless chipsets it would seem OpenBSD is pushing for other areas to open up as well.

I understand why ones do not release drivers for webcams and joystics for linux and other OSes.
But I met some RAIDs from Adaptec, for example, which was not supported with linux and not even planned.
How would one be crazy if he releases RAID that do not work with linux? 30% sales drop instantly, because most people do not use windows on severs, those who need rarely use RAIDs on them.
Dropping BSDs is another 5% sales drop.
I just plain do not understand why do they ever do that and what do they hope for.
