This more or less replicates Les' contentiousness towards GNU and GPL license stuff because he is desperately interested in running proprietary software without hassle and blames kernel developers, GPL license and Red Hat / Fedora packages for the problems which come from vendors who want to only provide binary software.
That's a tiny subset of the real problem of the GPL. Consider that it also prevents you from having zfs in the Linux kernel, zfs being neither proprietary nor distributed only in binary. And that's just the obvious thing you might know about and want today. The number of possible combinations of things it prevents from being distributed are actually astronomical.
