Once again, not every free software user feels the same way you do.
Being a free software user means "use free software". As for why they
want a proprietary kernel module... well... perhaps they prefer that
their video card work well.

Do you honestly believe that other distributions are 100% free software?
Which planet did you come from? SUSE, Xandros and others have tons of
proprietary software that they develop. Ubuntu has less proprietary
software than most distros, and it produces no proprietary software of
its own. Go complain to Xandros ok?

But you were quick to say what "free software users" want. You don't
speak for all free software users. I'm a free software user and you
don't speak for me.
