I wish Phoronix would spell out "DRM", because in this context it doesn't mean Digital Rights Mismanagement. It means something else I forget what.

Yep, me too. The thing is, I think Direct Rendering Manager predates the other DRM.

Indeed, but only in an environment of legal tender laws.

Without those laws, good money drives out bad the same way cash drives out bad checks.

Why blame Phoronix if the world outside Xorg confuses you with other meanings for Xorg-abbreviations?

What I did not say is "The Czech is in the male", which in deed would be a violation of several international treaties.
