Dear anonymous troll,

(well, dear may be a bit much for someone how is too much of a coward to
use his own name).

Please get your facts together before trolling, this just makes you look
stupid. Some food for thought:

* The drivers don't violate the GPL
* The decision to maybe use binary drivers by default was taken by the 
  community as present on the development summit and driven by user 
  demand for bling. The contract with microsoft was carried out in 
  complete secrecy by Novell and not driven by user demand 
* Feisty isn't released yet, the decision to use binary drivers by 
  default can still be reverted
* If you call the reaction the 'binary driver decision' caused a 
  shockwave, then what should we call the reaction caused by the patent 
  deal? Armageddon?
