in case of laptop, one may be interested in disconnecting the internal
display, if you're docked for instance
this mode allows to chose an internal display to be disabled, and then
configure a setup as in default mode
Kept wondering wether I should keep the MIT (because I highly value
freedom of act) or embrace the GPL (because I don't want this work to
become close-source).
I do understand that this commit (and the next one that is actually
changing the LICENSE) is a defeat for freedom. I guess freedom has been
defeated long time ago, when people and companies figured that was
"free" (as in gratis) was also "free" (as in disposable).
This is not how I think free (as in "libre") works but hey, that surely
is how Intel and other corporations see it (ec: Intel Management Engine
is entirely based on Minix, is close-source, and *maybe* used as a
backdoor by anybody).
It boils down to the Paradox of Tolerance, and I surely won't tolerate
shit going their way. If you want to take open source stuff, be my
guest ; but you have to play by the rules.
