What's so wrong with GPL?
I agree that we should keep the code clean from GPLed code,
but this is a seperate driver and there is no MIT/BSD licensed equalince
for it, Who it would hurt if it would be added?
There are other weird licenses in the code which are not as free
as MIT/BSD.

maybe it should be in a diffrent package, but then again maybe all other
weirdly licensed code should be in diffrent packages as well.
