[Asterisk-Dev] GPL Violation alert.. (Actually, isn't)

[Brian West]

Martin,
     Well I would still have to question why your wcfxo2.c differs  
very little in structure,
but yet you removed the copyright notices totally giving no  
attribution to digium or mark.

wcfxo.c is 1141 lines in cvs-head
wcfxo2.c is 591 lines from your site + 40 lines from wcfxo2-module.c

now I pose this question... How do we know you didn't move the GPL  
functions out of the module into your
own module proprietary module?  We'll never know!

EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_module_wcfxo2_initialize); < wcfxo_initialize  
exists in wcfxo.c
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_module_wcfxo2_pci_tbl);  < wcfxo_pci_tbl exists  
in wcfxo.c

Looks like smoke and mirrors.  I'm not trying to attack you or your  
work just calling it like I see it.

And didn't you used to work for digium?

/b
