Subject: is it possible to have a kernel module with a BSD license?!
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2003 07:17:02 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3FE9ADEE.1080103@baywinds.org> (raw)

from the project announcement on freshmeat:


  Dazuko 2.0.0-pre5 (Default)
  by John Ogness - Tuesday, November 11th 2003 06:56 PST

About:
This project provides a kernel module which provides 3rd-party 
applications with an interface for file access control. It was 
originally developed for on-access virus scanning. Other uses include a 
file-access monitor/logger or external security implementations. It 
operates by intercepting file-access calls and passing the file 
information to a 3rd-party application. The 3rd-party application then 
has the opportunity to tell the kernel module to allow or deny the 
file-access. The 3rd-party application also receives information about 
the file, such as type of access, process ID, user ID, etc.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Changes:
Some "in use" problems with spontaneous context-switches when unloading 
under FreeBSD were fixed. Macros for hooking/unhooking system calls were 
added. Filename length restrictions were removed. Code for generating 
protocol13 was abstracted and moved into XP layer. Support for filenames 
with non-printable characters was added. The ability to compile the 
interface library without 1.x compatibility was added. An "off by one" 
bug which occurred when calculating include/exclude path lengths was 
fixed. Support for Linux 2.6 kernels was added (not yet complete, but 
very functional).
