Quoting Ira Abramov, from the post of Thu, 30 Nov: > All Hypothetical...
well, it was a little white lie, if you didn't suspect :-) After double checking my legal status in any case, it turns out I am not under NDA at the time of this writing, but will be by the end of the day, so I'll say this :-) the company in question (and those of you who know who they are, know), Has promissed me to solve the issue. the problem was a proprietary kernel module that should have tainted the kernel and recieved a restricted set of symbols, but instead has a license string of "GPL is not the license of this module" with a null character after the "GPL", which is an ugly and unethical hack. I offered instead that they write a GPL module that allows access to what they need in the kernel through IOCTLs and move their binary-only blob to userspace. This was acceptable to them and I believe it's the correct legal solution myself (correct me if I'm wrong) -- Former Soviet spy Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
