These companies did not want to participate in the driver solutions for users, so when Wacom did, it left them in the dust. They now whine that Wacom uses up all the “branding space” despite the term “wacom” having been first genericided into (like “kleenex” or “coke”) then essentially blown away from the graphic tablets driver space, and even if they wanted to contribute they whine that the literally usable information they give to the user so the device is usable (like, coordinates and the like) is a corporate secret???
NGL, from here it sounds like they just don’t want to do any of the work and want some FOSS peasant in Laos to do it all free for them instead.
So lemme see if I understood right:
