Could someone please explain to me why there would be an issue with
UDI and Linux? It is my understanding that UDI would be a public spec
(which anyone could code to). If it is a public spec, Then Linux
would just have to implement the interface to this spec (as would
everyone else), and then any drivers coded to it could be loaded into
the kernel. Now, as for the license that drivers were released under,
they could be released under any practically any license and still be
used, because they were coded to a specific spec, and not a private
GPL'd spec.
