    I chose not to read, I read the license.

    Here's the thing. When you say "This is GPL code", you kind of have
    to ship GPLd code. I realise this is difficult for the hard of thinking,
    but getting creative with MODULE_LICENSE strings isn't good enough.

    No Richard, I'm just respectful of the licenses of code that comes my way.
    If you were a "real engineer", perhaps you would do the same.
    
    Anyway, I've given up trying to educate pork, so don't feel compelled
    to reply, I don't expect you to achieve enlightenment any time soon.
