Software/Driver Licensing Question

If I'm a software company that wants to distribute a closed-source driver, what would be the correct license to get the driver producer to agree to? No exchange of money here, we just need to make sure the license allows us to distribute their driver (which unfortunately is closed-source but it's all we have to work with).

Any got a BLFS 9.1 ISO I could dd to a partition/drive?

Hey all! So I know this sort of goes against the point of LFS, but does anyone have an ISO of Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) ready to go to install Xorg etc ? I'm lazy and I'd rather not do the whole process myself (most kidding). Or at least a set of noscripts that would automate the whole process... Kinda of like what this guy is offering here: [https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/lfs-boot-cd-iso-and-source-4175617929/](https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/lfs-boot-cd-iso-and-source-4175617929/)

Intel RST and GNU+Linux

Hello,

I have only recently joined the community, but have been using Linux for a number of years at this point.

I read this old [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/53ri0m/warning_microsoft_signature_pc_program_now/), and it struck me that Lenovo seemed to be the bad guys. Funnily, I just bought a new Dell Inspiron, and the same issue has arisen in Dell, despite posts depicting the contrary.

While Dell seem to support Linux (particularly Canonical's Ubuntu), that support is only based around the availability of AHCI in the SATA options in the BIOS.

Now that has disappear. The new XPS lineup seems to have continued support for Ubuntu but I do not have one so I can not comment on how it is achieved (I assume AHCI).

Is this an industry trend? Why is this support just being taken away? How does it benefit anyone?

Lenovo and Fedora ?

Big hardware companies (laptops/desktops) use Linux in almost all their services, Websites, cloud, routers, phones,,,etc

But when it comes to hardware for customers they stuck with MS windows, very few that ship Linux as OS for the hardware.

Lenovo recently partnered with Fedora to ship Laptops with [FedoraOS](https://fedoramagazine.org/coming-soon-fedora-on-lenovo-laptops/). Which is a great step, im just wondering why dont other companies follow this, I'm not saying to abandon windows (Majority of users prefer Windows) , I'm just saying add Linux as an option for the hardware, and let the consumer decide.

Companies prefer Linux for their back-end infrastructures because they know how secure and flexible the system is. So why not offer these systems to consumers and make them aware why Linux is a good option and then let them decide.
