> Also, it feels weird that they complain that linux is including some things they don't like (e.g. HDCP), but at the same time just gloss over that the BSDs are they base of many proprietary products where you can't get the source at all. I mean, I hate DRM and things like HDCP as much as anyone, but it just feels like an _off_? argument? It's strange, isn't it? The Sony PlayStation applies HDCP to some (all?) game content, and you can't disable it given its OS is based on FreeBSD, which isn't copyleft, so they don't have to release the source. Whereas, if it were hypothetically based on the copyleft kernel Linux, then you might stand a chance of disabling HDCP and recompiling it. Quite unlikely in practice though.
