Fuchsia is going to hurt humanity. If that sounds exaggerated, consider that its license's sole purpose is to allow propietary drivers and other kernel modules. In a world where google wants to have clean hands and governments want to enforce policies on computers, what do you suppose will run on your android phone in the future? That's right, a government-mandated rootkit.

Edit: Of course, I know that this is technically possible already now, but if google creates an OS with the explicit support for such a contraption, there will be an industry where companies like Samsung can buy their "legal modules" for their target markets soon.
