Yes. Alan Cox (one of the main kernel developers) has written such a letter. A few other kernel developers have done the same. Christoph Hellwig (he also holds copyright on quite a few critical parts of the kernel) has stated: "I'm going to sue them if they use hook called from code I have copyright on." > Normally people send a letter before take you in court. Since these letters exist and have been published widely, the only hope for developers of non-free kernel modules is that Alan Cox and others don't have enough time/money to sue them.
