+How to (not) use GPL Software
+Derivative Works
+
+Moral Issues
+Apart from what is legally possible, there are moral issues
+Even if in a particular case there is no legal way to claim a binary-only kernel module is a derivative work, you might still be acting against the authors' wishes
+By shipping binary-only kernel modules, you violate the "moral code of conduct" of the Free Software community
+But it is the work of this very community that enables you to build your product based on Free Software
+Such action might have long-term detrimental effects on the motivation of FOSS developers (dissatisfaction, demotivation, ...)
