ACK, I agree completely. I think its a silly, political, non-technical
decision being pushed here.
For the record, I also disagree with the sneaky backdoor way people want
to add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to key subsystems that drivers will need.
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is more to emphasize that certain symbols are more
'internal' or frequently changed, and therefore use of them would imply
you are using a derived work of the kernel. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is
/not/ a place for political activism either.
