Re: [PATCH] Ban module license tag string termination trick



Anyway. Are we doing this or not - the more I think about it, the more
I'm kinda "happy" to just leave things as they are. Yes, bad people will
continuing doing bad things no matter what we do. Do we really want to
change stuff just to work around obvious abuse? Alan?

Actually checking the ELF sections does make the loader more robust and
we need to fix up the off by one as well so I think so yes. When I
thought about this I was happy I'd have said yes without modules doing
GPL\0
