GNU, GPL, Open Source "Recently there has been a lot of discussion bubbling up regarding the possibility that Ubuntu will ship proprietary 3D drivers by default for some video cards. My aim here is not to discuss the specifics of that decision, which is still being fleshed out and ratified, but to instead define my views on the bigger picture behind the discussion - features vs. freedom."

Nobody, literally nobody says you aren't allowed to use your driver.

There are only people who say, if you want to do so, you have to fetch it yourself.


And I would like to know who the "linux guys" are, some friends of yours?
