sigh, i'm sorry you chose to illuminate the word 'drivers' and ignore 
the rest of the text.  I think you know exactly what i mean, and it's a 
little disingenuous to jump on one word and ignore the rest of the issue 
- because by the omission of addressing it, it stands by default. 

I don't think anyone can *really* argue that "that's closed because you 
could do Bad Things if it was open" is
1) a scary phrase
2) based on erroneous logic
3) the antithesis of foss

right?

By your own statement, tho, since there are so many more open things for 
what i want, i should just go with them anyway.  *shrug* i guess we 
will.  i'm not sure i'm reading it right but it sounds like your 
response is "why do you want to use our stuff anyway?" which is odd.
