Free Linux Kernel Driver Development FAQ

schwaang writes "The recent announcement by Linux Kernel Developer Greg Kroah-Hartman that 'the Linux kernel community is offering all companies free Linux driver development' seems to have stirred up some interest as well as some questions — see the Slashdot discussion about the announcement. Greg K-H addresses some of the questions raised here, and raises a few more, in a new Free Linux Driver Development FAQ on his blog. An excerpt: 'Q: Are companies really going to do this? A: Yes, already we have received a number of serious queries from companies about producing Linux drivers for their devices. More information will be available later when details are firmed up."

Re:What we really need

Yeah - right - and your bringing up non-sensical, unrelated arguments from your own sordid past why? No one cares - none of tha addresses the point, and none of it says anything about why any company may or may not produce a Linux driver...

Zealotry is one of the things that scares business away, and you just contributed.

Fuck you - you're a stupid twit, and stupid twits drive away a lot more business than zealots do - you nned to breathe deep and take a look at the Big Picture, for a change - sounds like you've been stuck in some dusty closet at the "Solaris Experts" department of Microsoft, or something - come on, can you be any more pathetic? Someone around here might be interested ... probably not me, but ... well, you never know, do you.
