> About something than someone commented in this post. I live in Mexico, so I can install restricted drivers and that is not illegal in my county. How do you people in USA manage to make your computers work properly (wireless, graphic cards), without restricted drivers? I'd like to know that. And if I travel to USA with my laptop using restricted drivers, is that illegal too?

Good question, Arturo! Unless I'm mistaken, the drivers for wifi and such are not proprietary unless the company chooses to make it so. Whenever I download a distro to try out I always get the "main" edition which includes drivers and codecs not always available in other editions.
As far as your laptop being illegal when you come to the U.S., I seriously doubt it as long as you are using it for personal use. Hell, I doubt that your system would ever be noticed to be non-complaint with U.S. law, nor would you face any penalty even if it was.
