    You appear confused. I'll say this again is my lawyer advises me that for
    the benefit of any future enforcement actions I should remind people
    each time it comes up.

    For a Linux kernel containing any code I own the code is under the GNU
    public license v2 (in some cases or later), I have never given permission
    for that code to be used as part of a combined or derivative work which
    contains binary chunks. I have never said that modules are somehow
    magically outside the GPL and I am doubtful that in most cases a work
    containing binary modules for a Linux kernel is compatible with the
    licensing, although I accept there may be some cases that it is.
