What I mean is, how would gregkh, or anyone else, prevent people from
using a de-Vole'd kernel? No one has to use either his patches or mine.
It's like Alexandre Oliva's linux-libre. Red Hat won't use it (indeed
some of their engineers seem to have a quite violent opposition to it),
but equally they can't somehow "un-libre" it for those who do, either.
