not being privvy to -core ( where I hear this was started and
subsequently moved to -dev ) I can only assume you didn't find what you
wanted on -core and are trolling for a decent response here.

I am certain there are people who agree with you on a idiological
standpoint, and perhaps even agree with an outright ban on material that
originates from a patent producing company ( IBM anyone? :) ).  However,
no one said that we lived in an ideal world.  I can't imagine anytime in
the near future where this idea is remotely feasable ( see r2d2's point
about the kernel itself ).

In short, there are probably enough of arguments and responses to this
matter on -core to write a research paper, this will probably never
happen in the near future, Happy 4th of July.
