Hi Devin,
Thanks for this idea. Need to investigate.
Currently we've made porting and released the results without any
license violations in mind ...

Hello,
We have ported linuxtv's cx23885+CAM en50221+Diseq to Windows OS (Vista, XP,
win7 tested). Results available under GPL and can be checkout from git
repository:
https://github.com/netup/netup-dvb-s2-ci-dual
Binary builds (ready to install) available in build directory. Currently
NetUP Dual DVB-S2 CI card supported (
http://www.netup.tv/en-EN/dual_dvb-s2-ci_card.php ).
Driver based on Microsoft BDA standard, but some features (DiSEqC, CI)
supported by custom API, for more details see netup_bda_api.h file.
Any comments, suggestions are welcome.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a legally ambigious grey area?
Seems like this could be a violation of the GPL as the driver code in
question links against a proprietary kernel.
I don't want to start a flame war, but I don't see how this is legal.
And you could definitely question whether it goes against the
intentions of the original authors to see their GPL driver code being
used in non-free operating systems.
