module-licences / tainting the kernel

[Axel Weiss]

Hi all,

from my point of view, the 'tainting-rule' for kernel-modules is too 
restrictive, allowing GPL-only modules to not be marked as tainting the 
kernel.

Would it be possible to let e.g. LPGL-licenced kernel-modules be loaded 
legally?

I do not at all want to hide my source code in any way, but under some 
circumstances, the pure GPL is too restrictive, and would reduce interest in 
open-source projects significantly.

Opinions?

Regards,
			Axel
