...consider this a warning shot for anyone who is relying on closed source modules. What you are doing is trying to take from Linux and not give anything back. The GPL explicitly forbids this, and Linux would not be good enough today for you to be using it without that protection. There is a reason why you are wanting to use Linux for your internal use, and why your customers are asking for it.
- Greg Kroah-Hartman, remarking about his proposed kernel patch that "simply marks all PCI functions as only able to be used by GPL licensed kernel code".
