--- Quote from: KernelPanic ---I beleive people are having certain Airport success with the open-source bcm43xx drivers. These will be in the next major Linux kernel release BTW and can only improve from there.
I personally use bcm43xx on a (different) Broadcom chip in a x64 laptop environment and it does pretty damn well for a supposedly 'alpha' driver.

This is news to me; I've never heard of this driver. :o

I desagree if copyright were abolished I think we'd loose a lot of great cinema and music as no one would ever invest money into a film is no one buys it and it and be shown to audiances for free.
--- Quote from: piratePenguin ---If it's freeware, then they probably plan on making it non-freeware in the future, charging for it and disallowing the copying of it, which shouldn't be allowd.

Also if you keep the source code you also prevent people from hijacking it and fucking it up in many horrible ways like creating a different version that breakes compatability with yours or using in another program you hate.

I never said I wanted copyright abolished.
And noone would invest in software either if it can easily be copied without breaking the law? Then how do you explain the not-dead FSF, Novell, Red Hat, etc.?

If you're worried about people creating a different version then your version must suck, tbh.

That's software, it doesn't work the same for music, cinema or even video games.

No, just look at shit Linux distros like Linspire for example, if I hate a program then I certainly wouldn't want them to use my code so I wouldn't release it.

Are they supposed to be incompatible?

Then point out the significant differences.

So you're keeping all the code you write to yourself just for fear that Linspire will make use of it? Jesus Fucking Christ.
