Where is this kind of "requirement" documented? I was under the impression that in general, the authors could decide how the symbols gets exported as far as using _GPL or not is concerned. My personal view on this _GPL in exports is that it is just unnecessary extra complexity in the implementation and there should not be any place for license enforcement in the kernel implementation; this is better left for the license text and things completely outside the source code. As such, I have a preference of not seeing _GPL added to code that is derived from anything I've written. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
