Just like I don't believe Linux drivers should be allowed to be non-GPL, not allowing drivers for Windows to be GPL makes sense, unless the kernel is organized with much more isolation as more of a microkernel. Anyone's more informed thoughts on this would be appreciated. Peace.

I don't believe the problem is with Windows drivers, but with the Windows Driver Development Kit. The DDK has a license incompatible with the GPL. I think writing a driver without the kit would still be possible, although difficult because it would require much more knowledge about the Windows kernel. Remarks: no facts, but just what I read on mailing lists.
