Wait - are you saying that they _do_ take responsibility for the open
source they distribute? Who should I call the next time my firewire
drives aren't recognized or an update kernel won't boot? How soon will
someone be over to fix it?
As soon as you pay for the software and the service call.
You get what you pay for ya' know. ;-)
And thus there is no difference at all in this respect between the third
party binary and an open source component. Except that the people
providing the binary do have a reason to care if it works.
