How is that unfair to them specifically? The purpose of this is to protect them by raising a paywall for anyone that isn't their 'sponsor'? (tangentially, that's why I prefer BSD/MIT, because people aren't as obsessed with other people doing dirty, nasty things with their free code.)
It's bad enough that these patches aren't integrated into the kernel like they ought to be or that they aren't included into mainline distros and are only ever present on custom built machines, now they are behind paywall as well. Damit, I don't want to move to OpenBSD.
