Hello, I am writing an article about manufacturers who refuse to disclose information about devices to driver designers. The main point in the article is how this is helping to keep the Microsoft monopoly, and that device manufacturers should disclose that information as a prerequisite to sell their devices. Device support is an important barrier for any operating system to get to the market. Can you please send me a list of manufacturers who refuse to provide that information? Thanks, Borja. P.S: I hope this is not an off-topic. I think this is one of the better places to ask this ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
