Subject: GPL-only symbol Error

 

Hi All,

 

Basically, I am developing a kernel module named "xyz.ko"  and my MODULE_LICENSE is "Proprietary". I have got an error "GPL-incompatible module xyz.ko uses GPL-only symbols".

 

I am having trouble identifying it. How to avoid this error in during MODPOST?. Is there any way to avoid this error?

 

Can you someone throw light on this.


Regards,
S. Sengottuvelan.

 

Legally, I believe your only option is to change your code to not reference the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL () symbols that it is currently referencing.

 

Jeff Haran
