Subject: [PATCH] Fix some MODULE_LICENSE tags in 2.4.19-rc3
Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 01:10:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D45CB61.8060708@gmx.net> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 328 bytes --]
Currently two files in the kernel have MODULE_LICENSE tags which result in a
tainted kernel. According to include/linux/module.h, BSD licensed code
becomes also GPL when linked into the kernel.
Offending files: fs/nls/nls_cp1250.c and net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains_core.c
Comments/Suggestions welcome.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
