Thank you! I've been trying to say that for days but you've summed it up in a far more concise way so now we can post a link pointing here instead of writing 1000s of words to explain the basic idea. This thread goes straight into bookmarks.

I'd argue that he cannot read properly (and that he purposefully edit quotes to say something that was not mentioned in the original post), just had a taste of that @ HERE Why Stskeeps thanked him for that is beyond my comperhension, tho...

I think that Nokia's license from TI (and others vendors) refers only to their devices, so they cannot really open-source drivers not owned by them. Something like Adobe being unable to open-source the H.264 and On2 VP6 decoders... We should put pressure on all hardware manufacturers to open-source their drivers as the current situation is not much improved than it was in the old days of win modems...
