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.

No matter what you think about Theo I think the whole silly part should be aimed at the HW industry. Why not let OpenBSD make drivers for their equipment in a descent manner? What are they so scared of? Why is this an issue at all, just give them the damn specs and let them write drivers. Why bring on that cost to the company of making closed source drivers when the OpenBSD community offers them for free.... just stupid if you ask me.
I think OpenBSD is, in contrast of many Linux distributions, really making moves for the ENTIRE open source community by doing these efforts.
