I have been using both Open and Free BSD for a few years. Here is a
Quick question about FreeBSD and the use of third party closed source
binary drivers (known as "blob" to the OpenBSD community). I was just
doing some reading on the OpenBSD website about their views on third
closed source drivers (they are completely against them). Are the
FreeBSD developers/community also against the use of closed drivers?
Are these type of drivers currently being used in FreeBSD? Any
comments/pointers to relevant information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
