I agree.
The GPL'd freedom code has been written by many developers
who donate their time to these projects and expect something
just as substantial back like GPL'd source code.
If these guys want to add Digital Restrictions Management (DRM),
then should go build their own platforms! Why do they need to leech off
Linux without giving something back?!
