I'd be more worried if I were the author of such a module. I don't see how you could develop a kernel module for Linux that isn't considered to be "based on" the GPLv2 kernel itself and thus forced to be released as source to anyone who receives the binaries. Of course, if someone can legally fracture the viral nature of GPLv2, that might be good news in general ... -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
