You have to choose between being a political platform with an agenda or a usable distribution.

Kernel modules that are not GPLv2 compatible are indeed illegal,
however.

A matter of opinion and speculation so far - or just plain FUD... I'd like to see this shaken out so if it really is illegal to use Linux with software of your choice everyone can just move on.
