This needed so that non-gpl modules, such as > ZFS, utilize functions like i_(uid|gid)_(read|write). It is my belief that linux kernel modules are of necessity derivatives of the linux kernel and as such need to be covered under the GPLv2 or a compatible license. As such I will not accept any patches whose purpose is to facilitate a different understanding of the license of the linux kernel. Eric
