Personally, I don't see those as being a big issue, but they've been marked GPL-only for a long while. The thing is, I personally don't mind, and I think "derived code" is what matters, but others disagree, and quite frankly, I'm not going to force them - I have my _personal_ beliefs, but hey, others have theirs. So you really need to talk to not me, but to the people who actually wrote and maintain that code. When they come back and say "yeah, we think ndiswrapper is a special case and we're ok with it", I'll happily either mark those things non-GPL or just mark ndiswrapper special in the module loader again. Quite frankly, I don't care about ndiswrapper enough (at all) to push this along in the least.
