  My thoughts exactly. The driver has been in use for 3 years...if Philips (or
whoever) was going to scream 'foul' about their driver being in the GPL kernel,
surely they'd have done it by now I imagine. Besides, I've not seen many other
webcams that are as clean and clear or work as well as my Philips 740 (I know
there are some that do as well or better, but not many, and they're usually a
lot more expensive).
