Why do the current kernel developers forbid use of the DMA-BUF API to non-GPL drivers, most notably NVIDIA's? Isn't this a violation of my freedom to have better drivers? Why does EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL exist in the first place anyway? If a module is statically linked to the kernel at run-time, the GPL shouldn't apply as it is dynamic. Why doesn't Linux have a stable module interface? Oh, right.
