All Hypothetical... say you had a client you worked for. One day over lunch, one of the guys of the R&D of a different product at the company tells you how they circumvent the kernel checks to load a non-GPL module and get all the symbols a GPL module gets.
This is not exactly a GPL violation, however it makes a stock RHEL kernel be fooled to think this closed source module is actually GPL and give it access to more info than the kernel team wanted. What would you do? do you just protest but keep working there? make that information public? Inform lkml how they fooled the kernel without revieling the identity of the violators, just to help them patch it for the future? spill the beans on Slashdot? and what would you do if it was a real GPL violation? will a signed NDA with that company make a difference in your decision?
