Kernel Developers Say No To Binary Blobs
The Linux Foundation and over 140 kernel developers have today issued a message reaffirming their position on binary-only drivers within the Linux kernel. Their positional statement reinforces that any closed-source Linux kernel module is harmful and undesirable. Their one paragraph decree goes on to add "we urge vendors to adopt a policy of supporting their customers on Linux with open-source kernel code." Their statement along with all of the Linux kernel developers agreeing with this message can be found at LinuxFoundation.org.
