Still bad. Users can write proprietary applications on Linux, whilst
they can't do that on eCos if it has only one fully GPL-ed module
included. 

Now I can't figure out what to do with DoC support for eCos, since no
other high quality open source code except Linux MTD seems to be
available. It means rewriting the code from scratch.
