The GPL code has a exported symbol explicitly to be able to load a closed source decoder module. Because of that, I've deleted that symbol (and the surrounding logic, as it's no longer needed.) One could also argue that no in-kernel code needs that symbol exported, so it should be removed for that reason alone. That's all I've done. The in-kernel module still works the same as it always did if you never used the closed source decoder. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
