From c99af3752bb52ba3aece5315279a57a477edfaf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Garrett Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:49:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] module: taint kernel when lve module is loaded Cloudlinux have a product called lve that includes a kernel module. This was previously GPLed but is now under a proprietary license, but the module continues to declare MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") and makes use of some EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL symbols. Forcibly taint it in order to avoid this.
