As an outsider to this discussion - but nonetheless an interested
party - I find this sort of approach really dispiriting. Do I have to
point out that you yourself have been CC'ing the em28xx ML right up
until this very last post?

Accusing anybody of "spamming" on a subject this important to all
parties - the licensing - serves very little purpose whatsoever, other
than inflaming emotions, and nobody wishes for that.

as a postscript..

You can't pick and choose who receives their rights under the GPL and
who doesn't (surely this is one of the benefits!), you just have to
live with it.
