I don't want to appear to be giving legal advise, so I'd recommend to
consult with your legal counsel to get a definite answer (or you can
ask for opinions on the lkml; preferably _after_ donning an asbestos
suit).
BTW: dynamically installing syscalls/hooks is a bad idea even for Open
Source modules. It's just not a safe thing to do. If you need a
syscall, argue why it's needed and why it's a good idea and if the
kernel developers concur, there will be no problem getting it
added/reserved.
