If we require that UDI drivers be GPLed then your worst case cannot happen
because such vendors' UDI drivers will not be usable with Linux.
Beyond that, your messages read like paranoia. In particular, I2O has far
more to do with leveling the playing field between Windows and other
commercial OSes than a sinister plot specifically targeting Linux. Do you
worry about the black helicopters as well?
And your statement in a previous message that all commercial vendors
including Microsoft and the commercial Unix vendors are ganging together
against Linux ignores the fact that the Unix vendors have far more to fear
from Microsoft in the short term. If your claim that they are siding with
M$ against us were correct, then there is no question whatsoever that the
commercial Unix vendors are already dead and we must ignore them completely
and focus on Microsoft as the enemy.
