For me madriva success has been combining the best of free software
with non free, there are things we do not have free software
(Drivers, plugins, codecs, etc.), if we remove the closed software
greatly affect the usability of the system, something that
I personally do not like, much less to users who do not know about
diference between free software and non free, who only want to operate
their computers. I think
to allow non-free software, the result is the best experience
to the end user and the comfort of their hardware works. Sorry for my
English.
