I don't care if that code breaks the GPL or not, what I care is that is 2% too much proprietary software because it's 2% VERY IMPORTANT software.
If it were applications... you can live without them. Important drivers you can't. This is just to show the fallacy value of "it only 2%". Not all parts are of equal worth. Remove those 2% right now and then come back with the experience results.
