If I reject proprietary drivers, what incentive do they have to
provide free ones?  The fact remains that there are not yet enough
people to hold sway on this issue.  I'm sympathetic to the cause,
naturally, but I'm not willing to live in a technological cave for it,
and I don't think you can expect to attract the large numbers
necessary if this is the sacrifice they will have to endure.

If I reject proprietary drivers, I just can't use my computer to the
fullest potential.  I'm already at somewhat of a handicap by using
Linux, but Linux does everything I need it to do and does it well.
