If you don't distribute the GPL'ed kernel with the module, then I think it would be a stretch for copyright law to extend to your code. Patents could do that, copyright cannot. So as long as the author does not ship the code as part of his/her own distribution, there is not much that can be done against it. (You ship a copyrighted work which is completely your own code and which includes no other code whatsoever) Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
