I see exactly the opposite. This idea that some symbols may only be dynamically bound to GPL code is fallacy. In the preamble to GPLv2 are words which make the position clear: "the GNU General Public icense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software" Childish games, for example blacklisting ndiswrapper, can be defeated, using patches, by authors of affected programs or anyone else. That's the freedom guaranteed by GPL. --
