As usual, Theo is clueless and uses propaganda to advance his agenda.

Specifically, in his email he mentions Intel ethernet being undocumented -- false. The hardware docs are on SourceForge.

There are plenty of other examples of Linux people working to open up hardware documentation. Many formerly-closed docs are posted at http://gkernel.sourceforge.net/specs/ or on ALSA's doc FTP site.

But the truth does not fit Theo's narrative, so....
