If he's releasing stuff under GPL he's obliged to ensure it is GPL compatible. Let's keep things in proportion here though. This is stuff that would likely have got resolved done way or the other with clarity in the end. The current alert over this is timely, and is speeding stuff up in a helpful and positive way. I note in passing that much of the disputed code is turning out to be unpopular or BSD licenced anyway (ie GPL compatible) so it looks like the kernel releases will be healthier than ever as a result of this. So the whole issue is IMO very Nietzschean in the sense of "if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger".
