Subject: Non-standard MODULE_LICENSEs in 2.4.13-ac2
Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2001 13:31:56 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <13064.1004153516@ocs3.intra.ocs.com.au> (raw)
These are the non-standard MODULE_LICENSEs in 2.4.13-ac2, compiling
these as modules will result in a tainted kernel. "BSD without
advertising clause" is not quite good enough for the kernel, that
licence allows for binary only modules. Kernel debuggers insist on
general source availability.
Since the source is already in the kernel which is distributed as a GPL
work, these sources are effectively dual BSD/GPL. Could the owners
please convert them to "Dual BSD/GPL"?
