Why does an LGPL module taint the kernel again? it's gpl anyway in practice when insmod'ed (LGPL mixed with GPL code becomes GPL, as per the LGPL license) you can say "GPL with additional rights" which would capture the spirit of LGPL although the additional rights aren't really all that useful (eg only for out-of-linux use) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
