Just out of curiosity: what is wrong (from licensing point of view) with VMware drivers?

Do you feel this has anything to do with the question that started this thread (and which you quoted in your e-mail)? Off-topicness aside, should we perhaps also drop reiserfs which is (mostly) work of a convicted murderer?
Can someone explain the animosity towards the FSF?
