Why doesn't your computer operating system fullfil its purpose without the
microcode in the keyboard controller? Must be that your entire OS is a
derivative work of the keyboard controller. Plug in a different keyboard
and your OS changes to a different license. Perhaps I'd better stop smoking
so much Piers Ackerman.
