Just over a year ago, Tim Butler wrote an article which outlined why he thought the GNOME Project was clearly the free software desktop project with the best vision of the future. KDE's Appeal Project, which has been brewing for some time now, looks to a different set of issues that need solving and has some very smart minds at work on solving those problems. In a few words, KDE's got some of "that vision thing" too, according to Tim.

Isn't linux' module interface lgpl? Otherwise I don't know how ati and nvidia ship modules legally..
No it's not, the Linux kernel module interface is GPL all the way. Both the ATI and NVidia kernel modules are GPL(or compatible), and perfectly legal. The kernel module are only a part of the driver, there also are the X11 part. Which is the interresting one when coming to 3d accelerating, and the one which is closed source.
