Please submit them as _GPL in the patches and request | the actual author of that code changes it to straight EXPORT_SYMBOL. Currently I don't plan to submit it anywhere, even on our tree. It's attached to explain to Atheros why one can't use their driver as a module (and why I think we will be the first). Without it working as a module the whole effort will get thrown away anyway. Point taken about what is appropriate vs the author. Is there actually any copyright level issue there or this is courtesy? Since it's GPL code EXPORT_SYMBOL would seem to be a legitimate thing to add to it locally; certainly they themselves are using it. I mean it as a separate issue from getting it accepted upstream (and a theoretical one since I will take your advice). Thanks for your other hint, I go look at it now. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjTqdEACgkQOjLpvpq7dMpBagCdEeBGOm8Z9LuT4oQrXyTjEZCP pl8AnRO2xpmzOmXBN1RD9GBaX9DzT8sw =O0VL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
