Bear in mind that Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer would be credible candidates for authorship of something like this. Look what it's done already - closed down a potential competitor to M$... Maybe it's just a 'symptom', a side-effect of the fight about the Right Way (TM) on how to use OpenGL for desktop eye candy, probably driven by jealousy .... ?!? There's been a Slashdot thread covering this at: http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/14/2059242 I suggest you read at +2 or better to filter out the worst of the loonies, but opinions on Slashdot are clearly divided between the "linux must never be distributed on the same medium as any non-GPL code" camp versus the "nothing wrong - binary drivers aren't part of the kernel itself, they just use it" camp. My opinion sides with the latter. Steve.
