This is unwanted - kqemu is a proprietary module and i= t 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 "p= roprietary" or similar. Of course - it would be far better to make kqemu GPL ;^)=20 Cheers, Auke
