_Is there a formal letter from kernel developers saying you can't have non-free drivers in your servers or your distro ?_
Yes. Alan Cox (one of the main kernel developers) has written such a letter. A few other kernel developers have done the same. Christoph Hellwig (he also holds copyright on quite a few critical parts of the kernel) has stated: "I'm going to sue them if they use hook called from code I have copyright on."
Funny and why they have non-free kernel modules in the kernel server ?? Have you a link to the letter ?? -- Marcel Mourguiart
