Hi,

I apologize for cross posting here and in android platforms group as I
didnt know which one is the right one for this query.

I am working on developing a kenrel module for netfilter to do some
packet filtering/mangling for android phones. I am a newbie to Android
and on listening to the "Anatomy & Physiology of an Android" video
presentation by Patrick Brady, a question popped up. He was saying
that anying going on the kernel layer should be GPL meaning the source
should be opened up.

1) Does it mean that if I want something to run on the kernel space, I
will have to share my  source?
2) More specifically, would netfilter modules source need to be shared
and not kept as proprietary?

Thanks
B
