GPL-only symbol Error

[Sengottuvelan S]

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
