saving Loki is valiant idea, but I would say it would be naive - equivalent to giving a hungry person a meal. sure, it'll satiate his appetite, but only temporarily.
a more useful move for the linux community (and ultimately for groups like Loki) would be to focus the community's influence towards vendors that help build this constrictive business model for Linux ports and development. vendors that release closed-source (or functionaly limited open-source) drivers will be an ever-present containment on a company like Loki.
