I've noticed the exact same trend where CISSPs are becoming auditors which follow auditing plans and simply report on problems. They don't really get to tackle the hard, or fun security problems at most big companies anymore. You add a CISM or CISA and you really get stuck in the boring jobs!
The GPL issues have apparently been resolved and Gamepark mentions so on their site:
Please stop posting to this board about GPL. Dignsys will post up the sources to the new firmware version 1.3.0 next week on http://source.gp2x.de./ They intend to release it once the binaries to said firmware have been released.
After reading all the different comments, this comment is the most sound...
Documentation is the best way to get your point across especially when you are being taken away from billable work. Like mentioned above, don't be a dick when presenting your documentation showing your 8 hours/week or so of sysadmin tasks.
Unfortunately, I've found that by asking for a raise, more time off, etc... you can be labeled a "hard case" or "problem case" so if you do ask for perks or a raise, don't press the issue or it could backfire. This also depends on your company and the boss, but with what you've mentioned about your boss I would think it would backfire.
Suggestions:
1) Deal with your boss and document your time spent on sysadmin tasks
2) Look for another job
3) All of the above
Good luck in whatever you do and know you're not alone.
