given that 2D acceleration is already covered by fbturbo, and works really well *and is entirely libre software*, the *need* for the 3D engine just for basic Small-Office / Home-Office and day-to-day usage is NOT A CONCERN.
so does that make it clear that the evaluation process (which was described a year ago) is not just a hard-and-fixed process?
I was not here a year ago.
now, if on the other hand this was a dedicated Games Console product, *that would be an entirely different matter*. applying for RYF Certification on a 3D Games Console product which has a 3D GPU which *only works with proprietary software* would probably constitute too much of a risk that buyers *WOULD* in fact go out of their way to download the proprietary drivers.
but this design *isn't being sold as a 3D Games Console*, is it?
does that help clarify?
