So your problem is that some totally separate pieces of code are not open source. Yeah, well, that is not the fault of open source. Whoever wrote Replicant could just as well have written it in GPL and it would have made absolutely no difference unless some of the driver makers chose to distribute Replicant. Open source is friendlier for gradual adoption of openness, and that can make the process a lot simpler. It also allows users to have mixed stacks which adds a whole new set of people that can contribute code.

> So your problem is that some totally separate pieces of code are not open source. Yeah, well, that is not the fault of open source. No, I don't have a problem. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is until someone develops a viable replacement. My understanding is that the Android version in Replicant 6 will solve many outstanding issues. In any case, it's the fault of the developers of those drivers.
