I'm not cheering just yet, but I am being cautiously optimistic. From
reading this, it seems like Dell maybe, maybe, have got the message
right;

        "Dell recognizes the importance of open source, GPL-licensed
        drivers which are maintained upstream in kernel.org. They allow
        users the widest choice of Linux distributions, effectively
        taking the specific hardware and distribution out of the
        decision-making process and let you focus on solving your
        business problems. We will work with our hardware partners to
        develop, test, and maintain Free drivers, and continue to make
        progress towards that goal for all drivers."
