Parent article: Kernel developers' position on GPLv3

The core of his argument seems to be that the kernel development is based on "fair trade" principle
and not on "freedom for the users" one. But fair trade can be interpreted in many ways, and I don't
see why his interpretation - "I give you source code, you give me your changes" is more valid than "I
give you the right to use my source code with your hardware, you give me the same right".
