Hi,
I know that if you write a kernel module, and dont
modify any kernel source to get the module written,
then you dont have to open the source for your
module... but what if you include header files with in
line functions?

Thanks
Lee

Well, most probably all the binary only drivers use inline functions in
kernel headers, but as Alan says, talk to your lawyer 8)
