AFAIK, it is possible to do this now, without any changes to the license
 terms, and you do not need to pay for certification. It just needs to
run without the proprietary support libraries (e.g. using the Linux
ports to those platforms), and of course, you probably can't use the
trademarked certification marks from the company.

Note that, no matter what the license terms are, it is always possible
to achieve this by seeking permission from the content producers. I
imagine most would be willing to waive their requirements in exchange
for money, just as would be the case for any traditionally licensed content.

Cheers,
Terry
