I think its a silly, political, non-technical decision being pushed here. For the record, I also disagree with the sneaky backdoor way people want to add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to key subsystems that drivers will need. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is more to emphasize that certain symbols are more 'internal' or frequently changed, and therefore use of them would imply you are using a derived work of the kernel. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is /not/ a place for political activism either.
