Agreed. However, Widevine is Google's thing and it's plausible that they'd ship it with some non-free build of Chrome. Unless they're worried about trusting the OS, in which case my original argument is void.
- jimktrains2 9y agoPlausible sure. anyone using any other plugin is also plausible, though much less likely. The point is since it's not standard Linux and BSD will get the shaft.
- wbl 9y agoWildvine works on Linux today.
