DaemonFCputting an open source stub driver in the kernel to service a proprietary driver in user space not only doesn't help the user at allMar 30 11:31
DaemonFCit's pretty much always rejectedMar 30 11:31
DaemonFCmost kernel developers still consider that to be a GPL violationMar 30 11:34
DaemonFCmost of them don't want to support and maintain something that can't be used by itselfMar 30 11:34
DaemonFCnow you still have a proprietary driver telling the kernel to do things and nobody knows why it's doing that except the company that made the driverMar 30 11:34
schestowitzsometimes it passes instructions to hardwareMar 30 11:36
schestowitzwhich then too doesn't tell you how the hardware operates, but it's another separate problemMar 30 11:36
DaemonFCthere's Linux distributions that are violating the crap out of the GPLMar 30 11:36
schestowitzMaybe we need to FHFMar 30 11:36

schestowitzand it prepackages proprietaryMar 30 11:37
schestowitzbut how is it GPL violation?Mar 30 11:37
schestowitzEntropy is FOSS AFAIKMar 30 11:37
DaemonFCif *I* install AMD Catalyst or Nvidia's blob on my system and don't distribute it, I haven't violated the GPLMar 30 11:37
DaemonFCif I start distributing it like that, as they have done, then I haveMar 30 11:37
schestowitzwell, they don't sell itMar 30 11:38
schestowitzand they distribute the source tooMar 30 11:38
schestowitzjust not for the blobsMar 30 11:38
schestowitzmany of those 3-d-enabled distros do thatMar 30 11:38
schestowitzwhy pick on sabayon?Mar 30 11:38
DaemonFCany distribution that comes with those drivers is a GPL violationMar 30 11:39
DaemonFCin Debian or Ubuntu's case I'd argue that they are notMar 30 11:39
DaemonFCbecause they don't pre-install them for you, you end up doing it yourselfMar 30 11:39
DaemonFCbut then your entire system is contaminated Mar 30 11:40
DaemonFCif you turned around and gave or sold your system and it had Ubuntu or Debian or some other distribution installed on it, and a nonfree kernel driver, you've violated the GPLMar 30 11:40
DaemonFCsince you obviously can't fulfill the terms and conditions of the kernel's licenseMar 30 11:41
DaemonFCand since when you go to distribute it like that, the nonfree driver is linked to the kernel and falls under the definition of a derived workMar 30 11:41
DaemonFCthe Sabayon project just happens to be violating the GPL from the startMar 30 11:42
DaemonFCschestowitz, 3d-enabled? what do you mean?Mar 30 11:42
DaemonFCyou can get hardware accelerated 3d support without blobs on pretty much any Nvidia, Intel, or AMD graphics chipset nowMar 30 11:43
DaemonFCwithout a blobMar 30 11:43
DaemonFCthe blob might be faster, but it also causes more problems than it is worthMar 30 11:43
DaemonFCIntel doesn't have a blobMar 30 11:43
DaemonFCNvidia doesn't technically have an open source optionMar 30 11:43
DaemonFCthere's a driver called Nouveau that they have nothing to do with that might go haywire and damage your hardware (happens)Mar 30 11:44
DaemonFCPeople shouldn't buy from Nvidia and expect it to just work without lobbing in a hundred MB of blob and basically making their system nonfreeMar 30 11:45
DaemonFCyou don't know what it's doingMar 30 11:45
libertybox_rightMar 30 11:45

schestowitzfedora - does it still include them? I guess so..Mar 30 11:49
DaemonFCand they offer it to youMar 30 11:49
DaemonFCjust offering it to the user is enough for the FSF to not recommend youMar 30 11:49
DaemonFCFedora doesn't consider firmware to be softwareMar 30 11:49
DaemonFCit considers it to be "content"Mar 30 11:49
DaemonFClike wallpaperMar 30 11:49
DaemonFCor documentationMar 30 11:49
DaemonFCcontent can be under a verbatim redistribution only license and be eligible to ship with FedoraMar 30 11:50
DaemonFCso by calling firmware "content" and not software, then by their policy they don't ship any nonfree softwareMar 30 11:50
DaemonFCtheir reasoning (and this is from Red Hat Legal btw).....Mar 30 11:51
schestowitzit's a magic numberMar 30 11:51
DaemonFCsince the firmware is not running in the kernelMar 30 11:51
DaemonFCand it's not executing on the CPUMar 30 11:51
DaemonFCand it is never loaded into system memory to be run, only to be passed to the device....Mar 30 11:51
DaemonFCit's not softwareMar 30 11:51
DaemonFCand therefore, it can't be nonfree software since it is not softwareMar 30 11:52
DaemonFCthey don't think loadable firmware is any different than firmware that is burned onto a ROM and comes with the device, except that loadable firmware lets the manufacturer fix problems with the hardware they sold and hardware that has firmware burned onto a ROM can't be fixed by anyoneMar 30 11:53
schestowitzDaemonFC: debian dorsn't work well with kdeMar 30 11:53
DaemonFCbut hardware with firmware on a ROM that can't be fixed by anyone? according to RMS it isn't a problemMar 30 11:53
DaemonFCor an ethical issueMar 30 11:53
schestowitzit doesn't let you easily install updatesMar 30 11:53
schestowitzand other administrative tasks, I'm disappointedMar 30 11:53
DaemonFCthat's why I think RMS is wrongMar 30 11:53
DaemonFCand Fedora's opinion is rightMar 30 11:53
schestowitzRMS is not a layerMar 30 11:54
schestowitzif the lawyers foudn a way around it, this would be fixed by the FSFMar 30 11:54
schestowitzlike GPLv4 or whatnotMar 30 11:54
DaemonFCnonfree firmware that comes with a device and burned onto a ROM doesn't make the hardware any easier to hack onMar 30 11:54
DaemonFCin fact, it makes it impossible to hack on!Mar 30 11:54
DaemonFCdevices with nonfree redistributable loadable firmware are more easily made free than devices that RMS has no problems withMar 30 11:55
DaemonFCbecause at least there's a chance you can reverse engineer their firmware and replace it with yoursMar 30 11:55
schestowitzhhmm.. rice is ready..Mar 30 11:55
DaemonFCI consider RMS a lot more wrong here than I consider Fedora to beMar 30 11:56
schestowitznopeMar 30 11:56
schestowitzyou mean wrong wronglyMar 30 11:56
DaemonFCunfortunately most of the reverse engineering work that is done on firmware isn't done by Linux peopleMar 30 11:56
schestowitzlike "free" is understood by someMar 30 11:56
schestowitzRMS knows his goslMar 30 11:56
schestowitzthe GPL gets interpreted by lawyersMar 30 11:56
schestowitzlike MoglenMar 30 11:56
schestowitzwho see how it adapts to laws created by other lawyers, for some often-filthy clientsMar 30 11:57
DaemonFCfirmware can't be a derivative work of the kernelMar 30 11:57
DaemonFCsince the kernel never loads or runs itMar 30 11:57
schestowitzwithout firmware some function is not accessibleMar 30 11:57
DaemonFCtherefore the firmware is not subject to the GPLMar 30 11:57
schestowitzthink of it as DRMMar 30 11:57
DaemonFCthat's misleadingMar 30 11:57
DaemonFCschestowitz, Consider this case.Mar 30 11:57

schestowitzthese are hacksMar 30 11:57
DaemonFCthe Broadcom firmware was reverse engineeredMar 30 11:58
DaemonFCfree replacement firmware was developedMar 30 11:58
DaemonFCnow it's possible to run those devices with the replacement firmware, and nothing from BroadcomMar 30 11:58
DaemonFCwhy would it be better if those devices had Broadcom's firmware burned onto them?Mar 30 11:58
DaemonFCwhy would it be better if that firmware could never be replaced by anyone?Mar 30 11:58
DaemonFCwhy would it be better if nobody could fix it?Mar 30 11:59

DaemonFCwould you say the rock was a part of my body?Mar 30 12:00
schestowitzthat's philosophyMar 30 12:00
DaemonFCpicking something up and putting it someplace else is exactly the same as what the kernel is doing with the firmwareMar 30 12:01
DaemonFCif I eat a ham sandwich, at least some of that sandwich becomes part of meMar 30 12:01

DaemonFCso, it's not part of meMar 30 12:01
DaemonFCI just picked it up and moved itMar 30 12:01
DaemonFCif we're going to define "derived work" by whether or not any two pieces of software ever touch one another, then everything that runs in userspace is a derived work of the kernel?Mar 30 12:02

DaemonFChe's recommending that people buy Nvidia and encourage them now because someone else went through the time and trouble to make their hardware work without the blobMar 30 12:14
MinceRi don't think RMS cares who wrote the drivers so long as they exist and are freeMar 30 12:14
DaemonFCI saw him a while back, recommending Nvidia because someone else reverse engineered the drivers and the firmwareMar 30 12:15
MinceRthen again, there are free drivers for intel and ati too, aren't there?Mar 30 12:15
DaemonFCbut he refuses to recommend Radeons because you need about 3 KB of firmwareMar 30 12:15
MinceRalso for maliMar 30 12:15
MinceRicMar 30 12:15
DaemonFCIntel needs "nonfree" firmware tooMar 30 12:15
DaemonFCor else you can't initialize the 3d engineMar 30 12:15
DaemonFCand when you can't initialize the 3d engine, you lose 2d acceleration tooMar 30 12:16
DaemonFCbecause EXA and UXA (Intel's fork of EXA to make it run a little faster on Intel stuff) both treat 2d as a special case of 3dMar 30 12:16

DaemonFCcompanies aren't ditching their proprietary drivers because they want to give the users freedomMar 30 12:27
DaemonFCthey're doing it (the more intelligent ones anyway) because they see how much easier it is to cooperate as part of the Linux kernel than to try doing their own thing and ending up with a comically huge driver with tons of bugs that's always out of sync with everyone elseMar 30 12:28
oiaohmDaemonFC: sorry you are wrong.Mar 30 12:28
DaemonFCbut, the effect of them ditching the proprietary drivers is more freedom for the userMar 30 12:28
oiaohmLinux kernel developers have been reducing the number of makers doing closed source drivers.Mar 30 12:28
DaemonFCand even if that's not the main reason the Linux developers are standing up to them, it's what sets the process in motionMar 30 12:29

oiaohmLatest turn coat on the idea of closed source drivers is QualcommMar 30 12:29
DaemonFCyeah, make everything they do with their proprietary driver THEIR PROBLEMMar 30 12:29
oiaohmThey have seen the difference in quality between internal review of drivers and external.Mar 30 12:29
DaemonFCand eventually a lot of them get sick of it and just open everything upMar 30 12:30
DaemonFCand that's what Linux has done to get these drivers opened upMar 30 12:30
oiaohmDaemonFC: qualcomm is even using the code from there Linux driver for there windows drivers.Mar 30 12:30
oiaohmBecause the Linux code is better quality.Mar 30 12:30

DaemonFCI don't see how the court can justify overturning any tax as unconstitutional as long as it's not in direct violation with another constitutional provisionMar 30 23:09
DaemonFClike if they said that all black women had to pay a certain tax but nobody else doesMar 30 23:10
