Ironically, a new member of the LF is quite a sinner too. Let us hope that
the flocking of companies to the LF (just like the ODF Alliance) will force
them to take advantage of free driver development. Dell gets credit points

Recently it seems like the "Go Open Source or go down the wastebasket"
realisation has become widespread. Even Adobe hopped on board yesterday,
which could take them in route similarr to that of Sun Microsystems.
