Your osd code is released under GPL so of course anyone can use (and modify) your code (design, or whatever) for whatever he wants as long as he follows GPL. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL has nothing to do with it. We are talking about EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, it's all about Linux kernel; what kinds of Linux kernel modules can use your osd code in Linux kernel. The your code will be newly added so EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL should be fine here unless you encourage non-GPL kernel modules.
