As a GNOME Apps user, I must admit that Nautilus has seen better days. It's understandable that they want a Qt file manager especially since their Unity 8 is targeting Qt too and it will be running on Mir. I for one have switched from Nautilus to Nemo (Nautilus 3.6-ish fork). > <snip> > In open source, you can’t lock people out of the code like you can in Windows. > But you can make the system so complex that no one can control it at a lower > level without being a developer with lots of time to spare. > I think ultimately that’s what this is about.

Please tell me how HAL was used for DRM? HAL was free software as I recall, but has become too complex to maintain or add new features, thus U* friends were born (well, DeviceKit first, then U* friends).
