"This statement is not 'preventing' anything, it is merely stating the fact that a very large number of Linux kernel developers feel that closed source Linux kernel modules are harmful for users, companies, and the Linux kernel community overall."

— Greg KH, in a June 23rd, 2008 message [1] on the Linux Kernel mailing list.
