That is not true. Technically speaking, you could do that. Think of drivers from vmware or nvidia. But to answer the initial question, you could do that, but the Linux community will highly disapprove of that. The point of open source is to have a product like Linux that you could freely use, and if you make something to improve it, submitted back to the community, so everybody wins. Because it's strange that you are asking the community for help on doing this, but you are not willing to give something back to it. So please, don't make your driver closed. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
