Linus is being Linus again.

if you don't want to know about linux kernel issues then don't bother clicking on this.
Linus On Denying Non-GPL Modules: Not in My Kernel Tree

Basically for those not willing to read the rather long an well put post.
Some people want to stop non GPL modules getting loaded into the linux kernel.
This includes all those nice graphics drivers that let linux geeks play quake without rebooting and drivers for little bits of hardware line wifi cards and such.
Linus Torvaldis (the guy who started this whole linux thing and one of the primary kernel developers) said Naff off!

This makes me happy since i am one of those linux geeks that like being able to play OpenGL games on my linux box and since i don't have windows on here i would likely get even more stressed cause i wouldn't be able to shoot nicely rendered versions of reality.
