Hi,

LinuxAnt offers binary only modules without any sources. To circumvent our
MODULE_LICENSE checks LinuxAnt has inserted a "\0" into their declaration:

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL\0for files in the \"GPL\" directory; for others, only
LICENSE file applies");

Since string comparisons stop at the first "\0" character, the kernel is
tricked into thinking the modules are GPL. Btw, the "GPL" directory they
are speaking about is empty.

The attached patch blacklists all modules having "Linuxant" or "Conexant"
in their author string. This may seem a bit broad, but AFAIK both
companies never have released anything under the GPL and have a strong
history of binary-only modules.


Regards,
Carl-Daniel
