Then the kernel community is no longer fit to use my code. So you should remove everything I've written from Linus kernel too. I'll maintain my own kernel.
Oh gosh, look I've just crippled Linus tree and stolen his project. Thats *WHY* you can't just rip drivers out. A license was granted, for ever. You can certainly remove him from maintainers, and if he insists from the author credits.
