Hi,
asking at the source: Can EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL-exports be used with out of tree
GPLv3 licensed modules?
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is documented here
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kernel-hacking/hacking.html#export-symbol-gpl
but this only mentions "GPL" without specifying v2 or v3
- This LWN article only talking about "GPL-compatible" with no version given and
that was written before the v3 was released: https://lwn.net/Articles/154602/
- This docs page
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/license-rules.html#id1 defining
MODULE_LICENSE(“GPL”) as GPL v2, but does not define MODULE_LICENSE(“GPL v3”)
nor what is and isn't allowed with it
Kind regards,
Werner Sembach
