Nobody wants to take the binary module question to court, because neither side wants to leave the interpretation of "derivative work" in the hands of a judge. So long as the area is gray, it's possible for both sides to claim they're right. A decision in the favor of binary module legality would be a blow to the efforts such as Greg's, to shame and cajole companies into releasing their drivers as open source. Aron
