Message-Id: <1348281858-24366-1-git-send-email-peterhuewe@gmx.de> Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2012 04:44:18 +0200 From: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe@....de> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@...site.dk>, David Daney <david.daney@...ium.com>, Christian Hohnstaedt <chohnstaedt@...ominate.com>, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Peter Huewe <peterhuewe@....de>, stable@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] net/phy/bcm87xx: Add MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") to GPL driver Currently the driver has no MODULE_LICENSE attribute in its source which results in a kernel taint if I load this: root@(none):~# modprobe bcm87xx bcm87xx: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. Since the first lines of the source code clearly state: * This file is subject to the terms and conditions of the GNU General * Public License. See the file "COPYING" in the main directory of this * archive for more details. I think it's safe to add the MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") macro and thus remove the kernel taint.
