Subject: GPL issuefor run time kernel function overwrite
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 14:14:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <F56FOSPUPeKljq65Rn800008a48@hotmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I have a query regarding the GPL for Linux kernel.
We were having a heated discussion regarding
opening up / disclosing  source code for features
added to  kernel (as per GPL) if we do the following  :

* We implement a driver which will overwrite any existing
(global kernel data strcuture) function pointer in linux
kernel space run-time.
* No kernel source code is modified in the process.

regards,
Kumar
