"furthermore, we believe that the kernel license should be changed to prohibit such modules" It'll never happen. Breaking core functionality (graphics drivers, WiFi drivers, etc) on such a wide scale would hurt users and make the community look utterly stupid. Totally counter-productive.

Totally counter-productive.Well, since in the video card world you are basically only talking about Nvidia, and most modern wireless devices support open source, I think it is more of a matter of time (years, admittedly) rather than "never".
