it is
certainly more desirable to have vendors supply drivers or
development samples of hardware without strings attached. but the
fact is, many don't.
That doesn't mean we should encourage *loans* for the purpose of
doing a driver which should be done by companies. "You're going to
do the driver for us, return the hw in a perfect condition and as
soon as possible."
That's not actually what the companies I've spoken to have been
saying. In any case, given the small market share, the drivers are
worth far more to the community than they are to the company.
