linux-toradex.git/include/linux/license.h, branch v4.16-rc4 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules kbuild: check license compatibility when building modules 2006-06-09T19:53:55+00:00 Sam Ravnborg sam@mars.ravnborg.org 2006-06-09T19:53:55+00:00 b817f6feff4a565b08f0e699a5790b4008b8f494 Modules that uses GPL symbols can no longer be build with kbuild, the build will fail during the modpost step. When a GPL-incompatible module uses a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE symbol then warn during modpost so author are actually notified. The actual license compatibility check is shared with the kernel to make sure it is in sync.
