I think you missed the point that my patch prevents valid usages of non-GPL modules from happening, which is not acceptable. The GPL comes into play when the code is distributed, not when it is run. Because of this, such a check like I did hurts people who are complying by the GPL license of the kernel. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
