I'm simply saying that pragmatism may force the installation of non
free/open software to make some stuff go, and the recommendation of
distros that include some of that non free/open software. I was also
pointing out that as an advocate for SuSE you must realise that.

Of course that doesn't mean we should stop advocating for hardware
manufacturer's to "open" their products.
