>Hellwig then proposed a new set of patches for tightening up access to kernel symbols exported as GPL-only, such as the case for these different "shim" drivers that sit between the open kernel code and proprietary kernel modules like the NVIDIA driver. He explained, "we've had a bug in our resolution of _GPL modules since day one, that is a module can claim to be GPL licensed and use _GPL exports, while it also depends on symbols from non-GPL modules. This is used as a circumvention of the _GPL exports by using a small shim module using the _GPL exports and the other functionality." Or as it's also referred to, the GPL condom defense.

Amarillos que no tienen problema con que las corporaciones les metan el pico en el ojo están echando humo.

Dev de Facebook intenta venderle la pomada.
>I'm aware that [the proprietary code] is maintained outside the tree, so this last patch may better placed there; I included it here so reviewers can see how things work.
