Intel knows that. We have processes in place. We've been doing it for
years (ACPI, Graphics, ..)

We don't think that is the case, and I'd imagine the NetBSD, FreeBSD,
OpenBSD, Dragonfly and other projects probably also prefer our
approach.
Seriously, go talk to your managers and corporate lawyer about this,
you are in for a world of hurt if you want to do this in a way that
actually works (i.e. doesn't just degrade to GPLv2 only instantly.)
It's far from the only project we do this with for at least the core OS
independent parts of the driver.
