You could grant this one individual the License to use your personal fraction of the overall kernel copyright in liaison with the ATI and nvidia driver. As the copyright owner you are allowed to do such a dual License.
?? Maybe the "you" is a problem.. Does he, "you", control the copyright or is it controlled by a very large group of individuals?
IANAL, yet afaict you control the copyright to subsystems you have contributed. If that is core you basically control the kernel. That's how the usb subsystem got pure "export gpl". A friend of mine now won't use linux as he just wanted to play with it and needs to buy a new usb wlan stick to play this game. Ain't gonna happen.
