So, use the drivers from the hardware manufacture. The authors of
the Linux drivers have the right to decide how there work is used. I
don't hear you complaining that the Windows drivers can not be used,
but there are even more restrictive - you can not even look at the
code. Your complaints about the GPL always boil down to the fact
that the license prevents you from hijacking the code.
