    I know it won’t happen, but it’d be nice if Linux switched to GPLv3. That would at least help somewhat here

      Won’t ever happen, Linus is very much in favor of companies being able to use drm, when needed.

      I kinda sorta agree because without it Linux wouldn’t be able to do anything requiring dr.m

        This is misleading, since regular desktop DRM would still obviously work, which is what the end user really cares about
