would i like to see open source drivers? you bet! bu ti would expect that ATi 
and nVidia's response to your approach would simply be "oh. ok. well, that's 
unfortunate. bye!" and then our users would still be stuck with closed source 
drivers AND not have the best experience possible with plasma. lose, lose.

i'd like to actually have a relationship with these people so that maybe our 
users can have better graphics support on the desktop. and that's really the 
full extent of my agenda. i think that should be the full extent of the 
plasma agenda as well.

if you wish to take up the "free the graphics card drivers" battle, there are 
more appropriate forums for it.
