So tell us? where does it go?
You seem to have the experience already. You took an open linux,
added some closed drivers and so made it closed. So you yourself (or
your company) have taken that (the openness) away - where did the
result go?
I'm guessing it went into a dead-end or you wouldn't be here talking to
us now.
If adding closed drivers to Linux is illegal, I am perfectly fine with
that. Just say so. I am not at a dead-end yet, until you make that
statement. Once you make that statement, then all bets are off. I am
betting that most companies will not even consider Linux as an
alternative in the embedded space if this were the case.
