I think what is needed is a "manufacturer license" that can be extended to people who are developing hardware and who need a close level of integration between the OS and hardware. The license should have a simple per unit fee, and the manufacturer should be responsible for supporting the OS on that hardware, and for supplying updates for that hardware.
I don't know who the responsible parties are, but I would be happy to help negotiate such an agreement, if the parties were looking for a non-interested party.
