Re: Am I allowed to package this?

Sure, COPR is always an option, but since this is a driver, I think it would benefit everyone if it was pushed upstream, y'know? 

I'm currently reading up on how to contribute to the kernel so that I can help push this. :D

Any tips are welcome!

you can make COPR. No one asks, no harm done, everyone's happy.
