The issue with GPL and drm is as I have stated several times now that we've 
wanted XFree, and now Xorg, to be able to distribute this code as part of 
their tree.

XFree86 had a strong policy against allowing GPL into their tree, I don't know 
what Xorg's stand is.  Maybe someone can comment from there?
