Subject: [PATCH 8/8] modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2020 08:10:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200730061027.29472-9-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200730061027.29472-1-hch@lst.de>

If a TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE exports symbol, inherit the taint flag
for all modules importing these symbols, and don't allow loading
symbols from TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE modules if the module previously
imported gplonly symbols.  Add a anti-circumvention devices so people
don't accidentally get themselves into trouble this way.

Comment from Greg:
 Ah, the proven-to-be-illegal "GPL Condom" defense :)
