Development of proprietary kernel modules is tolerated, see EXPORT_SYMBOL vs. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. AFAICS, this special exception to the GPL has never been formalized, but at least overe here the mere existence of EXPORT_SYMBOL and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL should sufficiently document intent (and suing you over a GPL violation if you stick to EXPORT_SYMBOL would be "venire contra factum proprium"). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
