To be more serious, i don't think you are stupid W-R, but you should understand that FT is a valide alternative at a more expensive TrackIR. Who, like me, like to build his own device, and is satisfied when something he did works very good, then you should use FT, different is who don't have time or don't like to build 3 simple leds then should buy TrackIR. BUT!!! do you think is right that a software should use ONLY 1 head tracking device, considering also that there are others and LEGAL? don't you think it is forcing people to buy Trackir? What if one day a car maker decide that you should use only 1 kind of gas for your car, or only 1 kind of tires? do you still feel free?
I hope I have been clear at what i said, english is not my native language, sorry...

There's no problem with open source albx, the more the better. No doubt FT is a valid alternative, though whilst it piggybacks/ sponges off/ hacks Naturalpoint, it is just that... and just because some people think they own the software when they buy it, or everything should be open source they have to keep in mind that isn't the case. Have you thought for a moment that some who may like to protect their work would respect the rights of others who also like to protect their work?
car makers again? (I didn't realise we were discussing cars :s )
governments (ultimately) determine what fuel is, or isn't used albx
do you actually know what "freedom" is albx?
