But it isn't, that's the point. > It really looks like personal stuff going on here, not really objective > discussion on this point. Nothing personal here. The GPL code has a exported symbol explicitly to be able to load a closed source decoder module. Because of that, I've deleted that symbol (and the surrounding logic, as it's no longer needed.) One could also argue that no in-kernel code needs that symbol exported, so it should be removed for that reason alone. That's all I've done. The in-kernel module still works the same as it always did if you never used the closed source decoder. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
