Label Your Module License

The current controversy about people mislabeling their kernel modules by declaring them with MODULE_LICENSE("GPL\0"); has angered a lot of developers (Kerneltrap, Slashdot). I absolutely agree that this is a despicable practice. However, for somebody learning about kernel module programming, finding out about this macro was quite useful, since I don't have to live with "Your kernel is now tainted" error messages any more. This story also led me to the Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide, which should make for excellent reading when I have more time.

In other news, my Linux VM book has not arrived yet, so I have been unable to start the review. And it should be known that See the Sun by Dido is possibly one of the most beautiful songs of all time. I am looking forward to going to her concert with Nora this summer.
