Just remember that the allowance of proprietary device driver kernel modules is a special exception to the licensing of the kernel, not the rule. And some days even this exception becomes close to regrettable. Other people seem to appreciate when the GPL camp isn't telling them how to license their own code. And just as fairly it'd be nice if people didn't tell us what to do with the licensing of the Linux sources. (I'm not a "use opensource or you're a maggot" person, I just choose to not assosciate myself with sources not using that kind of licensing. Linux is one of those safe havens for myself and others. How would you like it if I were to jeapordize your own legitimate paradise?). Later, David S. Miller davem@redhat.com
