Well, then I guess that's a niche market better served by Linux.  Personally, regardless of any Freedom concerns, I don't have any issue with vendors discontinuing support for ancient products. And out of curiosity, where is HP saying that including those drivers would be illegal?  I don't often deal in stuff this old so I'm not familiar with the licensing. ;-)
