From: Peter Hüwe Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 16:44:18 +0000 (+0000) Subject: net/phy/bcm87xx: Add MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") to GPL driver X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9913b8c8f05b0aad97432900fa3b2cdfd557eeb5;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git net/phy/bcm87xx: Add MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") to GPL driver Currently the driver has no MODULE_LICENSE attribute in its source which results in a kernel taint if I load this: root@(none):~# modprobe bcm87xx bcm87xx: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. Since the first lines of the source code clearly state: * This file is subject to the terms and conditions of the GNU General * Public License. See the file "COPYING" in the main directory of this * archive for more details. I think it's safe to add the MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") macro and thus remove the kernel taint.
