Possibility to (re-)introduce binary_only, closed_source hw driver modules for the fuchsia kernel? And still get to use all the goodie from GPL userland.

When I looked up Fucia and saw that it was Apache licenced, I assumed it was probably because Google are tired of providing back to the community that gave it 99% of the code that it uses. Much easier to do an Apple and take other people's work and not share back when it's not GPL'ed.
