From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Peter Huewe Subject: [PATCH] net/phy/bcm87xx: Add MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") to GPL driver Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2012 04:44:18 +0200 Message-ID: <1348281858-24366-1-git-send-email-peterhuewe@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Korsgaard , David Daney , Christian Hohnstaedt , netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Peter Huewe , stable@vger.kernel.org To: "David S. Miller" Return-path: Received: from mailout-de.gmx.net ([213.165.64.23]:37611 "HELO mailout-de.gmx.net" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with SMTP id S932627Ab2IVCjn (ORCPT ); Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:39:43 -0400 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Currently the driver has no MODULE_LICENSE attribute in its source which results in a kernel taint if I load this: root@(none):~# modprobe bcm87xx bcm87xx: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. Since the first lines of the source code clearly state: * This file is subject to the terms and conditions of the GNU General * Public License. See the file "COPYING" in the main directory of this * archive for more details. I think it's safe to add the MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") macro and thus remove the kernel taint.
