I really wish ESR would have done some research before talking at a conference about having to compromise and accept non-free drivers. GTKPOD is a GUI frontend allowing you access iPod stuff on your linux box and has been stable for about 8 months now in most Linux distributions. Maybe ESR just picked a wrong example of having to compromise free prinicples to get drivers into Linux.

But than we have a mjaor player making graphics drivers accessible to the FOSS community, namely Intel. Maybe the examples supporting ESR's point are dissappearing faster than ESR can find new examples?
