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."

"This license is a modified version of the GNU General Public License"
...
"The GPL is not the only license with the same requirements"
Yes , the other do cherry picking.
"in fact I could go write one now with the same exact requirements and yet another one would exist and it still wouldn't be the GPL. "
You said it exist ( you picked a GPL modification ) ... now you say you have to go make one ...
"You really need to research your licenses... "
You really need to make a valid , factual and accurate point.
I am still waiting for something that is not the GPL or a modification of it that prove your false point. That exist today and is in use. ( yes I added some requirement , because one need to be extremely precise with you apparently ).
Its not in the similarities that the GPL as value its in the details and difference.
