Yes, I believe that Canonical's implementation is a GPL violation, but it
doesn't need to be. So long as the source is in a separate package, and
it's packaged as a kmod, it wouldn't be a GPL violation. It's worth
considering, in my opinion, whether or not it'd be available for RHEL. It
wouldn't be the first package RHEL doesn't have, but Fedora does. :)
The Conservancy page does address source distribution as well, and they (as
well as Red Hat's lawyers) have a different conclusion.
