I’d love to hear what people here think of this. I hate proprietary kernel modules, I’m sure most people here do too, so do you think there is legal ground to force proprietary module vendors to release their source code?
You must log in or register to comment.
My assumption is that it’s not a violation because the module’s code doesn’t contain GPL code but interfaces with the kernel (another program) that is GPL. As long as the sources don’t mix it shouldn’t be an issue, but then I’m not sure about the full technical details.

Actually, if you distribute a derivative work of a GPL licensed project, you have to release the source code.
