scsi target, likely GPL violation

Nick,

Your company appears to be shipping kernel features in RTS OS that are
not made available under the GPL, specifically support for the
EXTENDED_COPY and COMPARE_AND_WRITE SCSI commands, in order to claim
full Vmware vSphere 5 VAAI support.

Private emails to you and RTS CEO Marc Fleischmann have not elicited a
useful response.

You are subsystem maintainer for the in-kernel SCSI target support
(drivers/target/*), and your company appears to be violating the GPL.
Please explain.

Regards -- Andy
