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 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp - 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/
