+ OpenBSD: Intel Accused Of Being "An Open Source Fraud"</a>,
+ KernelTrap, September 30, 2006.
+ </strong></font><br>
+ Mentions Damien's thread on misc summarizing Intel's policy toward
+ open-source software as being to make Intel "look like we're
+ open-source friendly by opening a project on sourceforge," and,
+ "give the open-source community the bare minimum so that they can
+ serve as our beta-testers." Damien reverse engineered the wpi(4)
+ driver source for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Driver,
+ despite Intel's refusal to freely provide documentation.
+ Regular readers will know that OpenBSD has been at war with Intel
+ for ages over these chipsets.
+ Quotes Theo as saying:
+ "before we ask a vendor, we have already lost (ie. the
+ device does not work). When a vendor says no, we have lost nothing
+ further -- there is no way we can lose further than having the
+ device not work. We can only win, and then the device works. So
+ there is no point in giving up until we win back the rights to write
+ software for the hardware that we have purchased."
