Hi Greg,

You can't just say "general GPL issues aside".  Honestly, given your
company's prior actions in regards to Linux kernel drivers and the
licenses of them, I don't trust them at all.  To help gain that trust
back, marking the exports in this manner will be a great improvement.

You don't expect us to just let that comment slide :) Can you be more
specific about which "prior actions" in regards to which kernel
drivers, and when?

For many many years, you shipped closed source Linux kernel drivers for
your products.  Only recently has this changed.

That was in the past. As far as I know our Linux drivers have been open
for more than 5 years, so not that recently.

Thanks,
Dmitry
