Martin,

What approach do you want to take to resolving this bug? The current approach taken by the jockey UI is to name the program "Hardware Drivers" and to describe the drivers themselves as "proprietary drivers".

If that's what you want to preserve, we can certainly update the documentation to match this. I've attached a patch which I can commit to our karmic branch modifying "restricted" to "proprietary" in the documentation.

A further issue that arises is what to call "free" drivers in the document. In the patch, I've left the term "unrestricted", because I think it's clearer than "free", which is rather ambiguous as we all know.

Let me know the approach you want to take so that this can be consistent.
