Is closed source not allowed for Linux? If you want an open source SD card formatter for Linux, you can mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0 all day long, works just fine.

  It's allowed but people who use Linux want to know about these things ahead of time, as many of us seek to reduce the amount of closed-sourced code running on our systems to give us peace of mind.

    People who use Windows or Mac do that all the time?
