Response to: autoconf and an itchy trigger finger

The point of the GPL is that I could modify the Linux kernel 2.4.5 to suit my needs, recompile it (if I have the proper compiler, that's another story), and still link with the closed-source modules. For instance if I want better IPv6 support with USAGI. Currently I can't. It's a violation of the spirit and letter of the GPL.
