The only thing is most hardware vendors don't care about the people
buying the product. The reason ATI/nVidia won't release their drivers
open source is because they are afraid that their competition will
steal their ideas. But look at Intel, they've been doing it for a
while know and I don't see them going out of business anytime soon.
Really, it's more a business thing than a morals thing. I doubt you'd
get any change out of the companies, but I'll sign the petition
anyway; Worth a shot.
