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
