I am working on an Embedded Linux device and would be in Linksys' position. As it happened for technical reasons our driver will only work when compiled into the actual kernel tree, so we were left with no real choice but to GPL the source. But certainly there would otherwise have been a raging argument as to whether we should have tried to keep the module binary-only. I am sat here in front of the nVidia binary running my displays. I have two 54Mbps WiFi cards I can't use because they only have Windows binary drivers and I don't want to use ndiswrapper. One way or another if there is an attack on Linksys that's something we will all be feeling the ramifications of for good and/or ill. -Andy
