Linus on binary kernel modules

microbee writes: On LKML's periodic GPL vs binary kernel module discussion, Andrew Morton hinted that he favors refusing to load binary modules in 12 months. Greg KH then posted a patch to do exactly that. Surprisingly Linus chimed in and called it "stupid" and "political agenda", and even compared it with RIAA. Later in the same thread Greg withdrew his patch and apologized for not having thought through.
