Subject: GPL-only symbol Error

 

Hi All,

 

Basically, I am developing a kernel module named "xyz.ko"  and my
MODULE_LICENSE is "Proprietary". I have got an error "GPL-incompatible
module xyz.ko uses GPL-only symbols".

 

I am having trouble identifying it. How to avoid this error in during
MODPOST?. Is there any way to avoid this error? 

 

Can you someone throw light on this.


Regards,
S. Sengottuvelan.

 

Legally, I believe your only option is to change your code to not
reference the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL () symbols that it is currently
referencing.

 

Jeff Haran
