[PATCH 0/2] module: Block modules by Tuxedo from accessing GPL symbols

["Uwe Kleine-König" <ukleinek@kernel.org>]

Hello,

the kernel modules provided by Tuxedo on
https://gitlab.com/tuxedocomputers/development/packages/tuxedo-drivers
are licensed under GPLv3 or later. This is incompatible with the
kernel's license and so makes it impossible for distributions and other
third parties to support these at least in pre-compiled form and so
limits user experience and the possibilities to work on mainlining these
drivers.

This incompatibility is created on purpose to control the upstream
process. See https://fosstodon.org/@kernellogger/113423314337991594 for
a nice summary of the situation and some further links about the issue.

Note that the pull request that fixed the MODULE_LICENSE invocations to
stop claiming GPL(v2) compatibility was accepted and then immediately
reverted "for the time being until the legal stuff is sorted out"
(https://gitlab.com/tuxedocomputers/development/packages/tuxedo-drivers/-/commit/a8c09b6c2ce6393fe39d8652d133af9f06cfb427).

Best regards
Uwe
