Red Hat has an NDA cooperation with Marvell for the wireless chips that they want to use for the One Laptop per Child-project. The idea of this is that both parties think Marvell will be more open in the future, but this is absolutely not the path they should walk, according to OpenBSD's Theo de Raadt. "I am getting really tired of 'open source' people who work against the open source community. Our little group can probably take credit for having 'opened up' more wireless devices than the rest of the community, and therefore we feel we have a better grasp of the damage OLPC has done here."

Your argumentation does not hold ground. The one license that actually makes sure software remains open, is GPL.
Sorry, but that's factually incorrect. It would be correct, however, to say that "licenses that contain at least the same conditions as the GPL make sure software remains open."
