Well, so far I have heard from you is "let me use my closed-source drivers in Linux or bye bye".
All this is fine. Just say so. Make it black and white. Make it
It is not black and white: You are the one who is using Linux; not the other way. In other words, you use Linux freely and don't help in any way; however, you come to demand things and criticize hundreds of persons who colaborated here.
perfectly clear what is and isn't legal. If we can't load proprietary modules, then so be it. It will help everybody if this is out in the clear, instead of resorting to stupid half measures like EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
Stupid, maybe. But some people just don't want closed-source projects/companies like yours using their free work, without any kind of feedback. Some others don't care, but they could in the future, as it is their code, and that is your risk.
