Moreover, I think the 'compatible license thing doesnt fly.
the argument against CLOSE modules is that they make the _whole_package_ undebuggable.
if the source is available, no matter HOW crippling its license, the package _IS_ debuggable.
thie warning should be:
Warning: Module %s is not open source, and as such, loading it will make your kernel un-debuggable. Please do not submit bug reports from a kernel with this module loaded, as they will be useless, and likely ignored. - 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/
