That I don't know so I can't comment at the moment.

I know all that, but it is a complicated matter to discuss. That's why I was planning to make a comprehensive announcement which would discuss most of the hot topics. Ideally yes, I would like to merge, but it won't happen now. The first thing I would like to do is establish common ground with other security vendors so that we could approach the problem together. Personaly, I am not sure whether insisting that everything should be a part of kernel is a right thing to do even though I think I understand all the up- and down-sides of both policies. Having said all this above, I am afraid that there will be no other choice but to start working on the announcement asap. :) > > and we at Sophos are about to release a new product which needs it as > > well. > > I assume we're talking about an open source product, or at least kernel > component, here? Of course. Kernel component might be known to some as Talpa and it is released under GPL. - 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/ | ||||||||||||
