I don't think it's fair to supect Richard Hughes, who makes the ColorHug (open source/open hardware colorimeter) of trying to encourage proprietary firmware.
This is just a service to encourage up2date firmware, proprietary or not.
- rekado 9y agoMy comment was not meant to be a slight against the people behind the service. I just think that it is dangerous to give hardware people an alternative to doing things the right way, namely to allow for their "firware" to be built from source (and as part of the kernel).
- hutzlibu 9y agoWell, if they think it is too hard otherwise, they might decide the alternative is no update at all. And I rather have a working binary blob on my Linux, than no open source driver at all.
