Ge... that was an example, im not posting on self interest.

I firmely belive that the general hardware manufactor wants to use GPL code, not because of licence, but because of sales... if only they could "wrap" some closed tiny technical sensitive details on it . Some integrators dont.
Funny thing is that the general hardware manufactor rarely do it, and are constantly pressured to lock away their platforms, while many of those "some integrators" that dream of a world without GPL are big on it.
