really?
this is the first time i hear that ESX is an "illegal" product from the point of view of the kernel community.
afaik, the esx kernel (vmnix) is a completely different product and for example, the source of the linux drivers they have modified to run under ESX are made available for download, as GPL tells them to do.

what`s the problem here?
can you provide a link to some thread where this has been discussed?
something to be resolved with the help of gpl-violations.org ?
