Not that FreeBSD has a better chance than than Linux if the bill making DRM
mandatory passes...

It would be possible for big companies such as RedHat to sell DRM-patched
and certified linux distros (and a similar company to sell FreeBSD in the

be gone (unless you download the OS for free and buy the certified patch,
or soemthing like that).
