I’ve been watching this issue continue on since my original posting on it. The verdict from th FSF (Free Software Foundation) seems to be that combining the binary drivers with any other GPL code on the same disk is in violation.
Looks like it could be bad news for the Kororaa Project, which means the project is going to be canceled unless they can figure out a way to add the binary drivers separately. Off the top of my head I would say make the pre-’compiled’ binaries available that can be loaded off a USB device or floppy, if there is even a way to have the disk startup without the drivers (command line only until the drivers are loaded?).
I will defiantly still be keeping an eye on this project and really hope for the best with them.
