Hi Jeff,

I have few symbols with this error especially - sock_recv_timestamp(). Is
there way to refer this or similar API in my module with MODULE_LICENSE is
"Proprietary. How do I know equavalent non-EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL  APIs to
achieve similar functionality.
Regards

Hi All,****

 ****

Basically, I am developing a kernel module named "xyz.ko"  and my
MODULE_LICENSE is "Proprietary". I have got an error "GPL-incompatible
module xyz.ko uses GPL-only symbols".****

 ****

I am having trouble identifying it. How to avoid this error in during
MODPOST?. Is there any way to avoid this error? ****

 ****

Can you someone throw light on this.****

Legally, I believe your only option is to change your code to not
reference the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL () symbols that it is currently referencing.
