And this may be the very reason why we can not get the drivers for our hardware

If there is no legal way around this, Suse Desktop will be a thing of the past
for the general desktop user (e.g. home user who is not technical).
Suse and other Linux vendors will not have a snow balls chance in you

This would include USB devices as well.
That's just FUD. We're already starting to see open source drivers for 3d video
trickle in; yeah it's slow.
For what cards? I have yet to see any reasonably fast card with
acceptable 3d drivers. If there is one, I would like to know about it.
