Yes it can read ONLY files with pdf format, it can't read (as example) .xls, as happen in device drivers, it ONLY can read firmware designed for that device, and not for other devices. > Device drivers can, typically, only > load firmwares that are specific to the device in question, and the only > existing firmwares for the devices tend to be non-free. Why tend to be non-free? I could think that pdf tend to be always non-free. It can exist free pdf as could exist free firmware. > > (Reply-To set to -project, since this is more on-topic there than here.) > > -- Miguel Gea Milvaques <debian@miguelgea.com> Blog: http://www.livejournal.com/users/xerakko/
