Subject: [Qemu-devel] BUG: kqemu omits MODULE_LICENSE making tainted kernel go unnoticed
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 4:04:29 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4911742b9a592b593d14e23210db6af7@localhost> (raw)
Hi,
kqemu 0.7.x omits the MODULE_LICENSE symbol and does not signify that it taints the kernel. This is unwanted - kqemu is a proprietary module and it should expose itself to the kernel as such. It is bad enough that kqemu is closed source - but it is even worse if kqemu doesn't tell the kernel in the proper way that it is proprietary.
Please insert a proper MODULE_LICENSE symbol in the module, preferably "proprietary" or similar.
Of course - it would be far better to make kqemu GPL ;^)
Cheers,
Auke
