There is one fundamental problem, and nobody has addressed.

Who will enforce the GPL over DRM violations?

The copyright author if they so choose to do so.

Since it is a blanket over the entire kernel, and you have formally (for the most part) have authorized DRM, thus one assumes you are the only one who can pursue in a court of law.

Unless I am missing something, I was hoping for more of a sparse DRM \
implementation; not a blanket.
I was hoping to be able to modprobe drm for when I needed to use DRM and likewise \
rmmod drm for when I didn't want it. Maybe I am a little late in this \
disucssion, but that's just my hopes and whishes.
