EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is intended to be used for "an internal implementation issue, and not really an interface". The dma-buf infrastructure is explicitly intended as an interface between modules/drivers, so it should use EXPORT_SYMBOL instead.
NAK. This needs at the very least the approval of all rights holders for the files concerned and all code exposed by this change.
I think he has that. Maybe he just needs to list them. But this doesn't change the license on the code at all really, so its actually not like a re-license where you need approval.
But in any case I personally don't care about this interface being used if the alternative is they do it themselves. I'm still not going to debug things with a binary module taint.
