------ I had a conversation with Stephen Hemminger, who initially reported the potential issue with Microsoft's driver, and he provided me with some additional technical specifics. According to Stephen, the issue revolves around a feature of the Linux kernel called EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL that allows for interfaces to be marked as only available to modules with a GPL-compatible license. From Stephen's perspective, Microsoft's proprietary code had to use some of these interfaces that "the kernel did not want to offer to non-GPL [code]." If that all seemed a bit geeky technical, well it is. ------ regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
