Isn’t Linux even supporting HDCP antithetical to what it stands for?
some people want to implement this DRM support and some others want to use this support.
freedom in this scenario is more akin to "you are free to choose" above "you should pick one of the free choices".
some people will decide for paid products and some people will consume closed source "evil corporation" software.
... while it IS "anti ethical" to some of its founders, it should be an individual choice of each user, after all its my machine, and i don’t have to care about what Stallman/whatever says I should or shouldn’t do with my stuff, the same way they have their right to tell me to go fuck myself for my choices.
Linux also supports secure boot and locking down your accounts. Open technology doesn't mean everybody can do everything.
