Are they really flouting the GPL though? I think you could make a better case that SteamOS is, with an integrated Nvidia driver.<p>What makes this different IMO from VMWare is that they are not creating a work that exists purely b&#x2F;c of Linux, instead they a making a piece of software that allows their hardware to work with a Linux based machine.<p>I think those are two very different types GPL violation. One really does flout the GPL and exploit Linux kernel devs, the other I think is generally viewed as an enhancement to Linux, thus less interest in fighting it.
