Not really wanting to open this debate again, but avoiding arguing about
the wisdom, or not, of GPL insistance (that's a whole other debate), and
just commenting on the other aspects around it...
* Some distros may not be *allowed* to do something beyond their
charter (whether that be by law, or by policy). "Wanting" to do
something that is technically possible may not even come into
the equation.
* We do have the option of using a different distro.
* And, of course, there's the option of using different hardware
(this isn't unique to Linux, even some Windows users will find
that some devices just will not work on their systems).
