Subject: Tainting kernels for non-GPL or forced modules
Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2001 23:15:29 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <27975.1001164529@ocs3.intra.ocs.com.au> (raw)
I have started work on the patch for /proc/sys/kernel/tainted with the
corresponding modutils and ksymoops changes. insmod of a non-GPL
module ORs /proc/sys/kernel/tainted with 1, insmod -f ORs with 2.
What to do about modules with no license? Complain and taint or
silently ignore? A lot of modules in -ac14 have no MODULE_LICENSE,
probably because they have no MODULE_AUTHOR. IMHO the default should
be complain and taint, even though it will generate lots of newbie
questions to l-k.
