Groan. Read the article for full details, but briefly:

* Desktop hardware manufacturers have an incentive to publish details
of how their hardware works instead of concealing it with binary drivers.

* Video/audio creators have an incentive to use open, freely available
codecs instead of proprietary DRM and license encumbered binary
only media players.

* Legislators have an incentive not to pass laws like the DMCA, because
it would piss off a significant number of voters.

        cheers,
