    But that's what GPLONLY means.

    What's so hard to understand? The driver may not be a derivative work, but
    it sure as hell isn't GPL'd.

    So stop blathering. ndiswrapper has one purpose, and one purpose only: to
    load non-GPL'd code. So OF COURSE it shouldn't touch GPLONLY functions.
