Please don't shut up about it. If anything do the opposite - more
people need to be made aware of how very serious this problem is.

I'd like the thing to
be OSS and licensed GPL so Lee Revel doesn't rip the
jewels from my body when I ask for help configuring
it. Of course the card you recommend is gonna work out
of the box so Lee would never know if I'm sleeping
with the devil...
Wow. Is my position on closed source drivers really considered
extremist on this list? It's shared by about 95% of people on the
kernel list.
Sorry, I will shut up about it if it's such a big deal.
