Looking back at the KDB sources originally posted on oss.sgi.com I
did not see any restrictions on the use of KDB. How/why was that
restriction granted and by whom? Was SGI, the original copyright
owner of KDB, asked or even informed of that decision? I'm not
trying to be a lawyer here,

This patch adds some important KDB functions to be externally
usable by loadable KDB modules. Note that often drivers bring
in KDB modules for debugging, and in the past KDB has not been
limited to use by GPL only modules. This patch restores KDB
usefullness to non-GPL modules.
