Actually, Ilan has a point here.
1. His salesmanship skills could use a small upgrade - by presenting the
argument of avoiding MS-Windows in the first place, he'd get more
cooperation than flames.
2. If Linus allows use of closed code Kernel modules with Linux and they
probably are obfuscation champions of the Linux world, then Ilan should
be entitled to ask about the subject.
3. And, as Ilan said, the Linux-IL mailing list is Linux-IL, not GNU-IL
(or GPL-IL), RMS's insistence upon the term GNU/Linux withstanding.
