Now this idea of removing all this non-GPL stuff.... what was gained by that? And that is a Novell-only decision, right?
Actually it was the kernel devs that dictated it, they didn't ask it to be so they made it mandatory.
Then how in heck is Linux ever going to become a mainstream operating system when the kernel can't have proprietary code hung off of it and the vendors aren't that interested in developing proprietary code to begin with? Where do they think this is going to lead? DLL's anyone?
