Even if the kernel developers think that my module is very cool and they accept it as an official kernel module that will be distributed with the kernel, then I still have not control over the kernel or any other module. I will have to GPL my module and it will be under the scrutiny of the other kernel developers and if I suddenly decide to change my module to write "MS Rulez" in the file instead of the 1, then my module will most probably be kicked out of the list of supported kernel modules and I would still not have gained anything.
More likely, the original module - assuming it was useful - will be kept, but the patch to break it won't be accepted and you will no longer be the maintainer of it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
