Where are the RMSs of the world?

khim, I believe we have just about exhausted the capabilities of this forum with regards to long posts/threads. It will be too much to address all your points, even though there is a lot to address, maybe another time.

First up, I like to put some documentation behind statements. GPLv3 has it's problems, that we can both agree too. However, your comment that GNU and Samba are the only high profile projects using it is at best misleading. In total GPLv3 is just behind Apache in popularity:

which basically places it on a split second place behind GPLv2.

It does not make much sense for us to discuss other people's opinions. Still, I believe all three we have mentioned, Linus Torvalds, Luc Verhagen and Rob Clark may very well share my opinion that proprietary drivers are inherently a bad idea. Personally, I think proprietary development in general is a bad idea, so that puts me in the GNU camp I guess. Can't speak for others there. I am not sure exactly where to put you though, you seem to be more interested in blowing up the indifferences found among strong minded open developers.
