After Kororaa announced its GPL problems and me writing a column about it, the people behind Kororaa have now posted an in-depth follow-up: "I have been receiving lots of information which I have been sorting through, thank you to everyone who has emailed me (although I would have also thanked you personally via email). I contacted both ATI and nVidia for some clarification on particular issues, however neither have answered my questions. Nevertheless, this is what I have found so far."

What I don't understand is people want us the uphold the law and ignore the purpose for which the law was written/implemented. Now it would make sense to most people that proprietary hardware would require proprietary driver for it to work properly, preferably by the same hardware company. Now if that company chooses to not open source their driver that upto the company as long they make drivers, why do we want to force corporates to follow our ideals. Any law for that matter is not more important than the purpose it serves be it GPL or BSD licensing or any law in general. What has happened here with Kororaa is very sad, the law is serving against the purpose it was designed for atleast in this case.
