And this will even have a cost for you, especially if you go proprietary rather than some other more liberal Free Software license, or stick with a GPLv2 Linux and hope it's never ruled as prohibiting tivoization, or move to Linux on ROM. But it takes only a small fraction of the tivoizers to decide to take out the locks, when faced with the costs mentioned above, for us to gain contributions from even a small fraction of their user base (which would then grow in hacker density as a result of non-tivoization) for us to end up better off.
