No, seriously, if we do nothing, things are just bound to change, aren't they? That's the way all change has happened in this world.
Market forces change the world. Not much else. If GNU/etc represents enough of a revenue to a manufacturer they will provide support/drivers. They will factor in the costs of development and support, and come to a decision based on the business case. Looking a printers, it appears that, quite often, it is actually in their interests to provide support, but not always. It is naive to think that well meaning letters, t-shirts and leaflet campaigns have any bearing. I cannot possibly produce evidence, but that doesn't mean we should stop
doing it. There is no evidence that it does harm, all it can do is improve things. So why _not_ do it?
I have nothing against you doing it. Go ahead, fill your boots. I would sooner Kodak didn't support us. As I said, the more people to whom they provide support, the more likely they are to be successful. I would like to see Kodak go out of business because of their past behaviour.
