The kernel doesn't actually do anything with the "tainted" flag, insmod does. So you have to compile things as module and insmod them, and insmod will dump a message if the MODULE_LICENSE thing isn't in the module. If you compile things inside the kernel instead of modules, you will see nothing and /proc/sys/kernel/tainted will contain 0, which is wrong. -------------------------------------- Pierre-Philippe Coupard Senior Software Engineer, Lineo, Inc.
