Come on, stop beating the dead horse: 1. PHP is a interpreter that 
tranlates data (=code) into output. GPL does not affect the data you use 
with software. TYPO3 does not interpret any extension code.

2. As with binary drivers: Many people think this is actually to be 
contested in court, but the main argument is that they should be GPLed 
but nobody has legally challenged that yet because Linus doesn't care.
