This particular driver does in fact build cleanly after changing the GPL

specifying PROPRIETARY, that they are in fact NOT using GPL symbols and
maybe they just thought they needed to specify GPL for some reason or
another?

Why not just ask the authors?


Well, I will before I actually distribute it to anyone. It's still not set in stone that I'm going to use their product but since I now know that it at least builds as NOT GPL, I just thought someone here could confirm my assumption that that actually meant they were NOT using GPL symbols.

Thanks
