Obfuscate code GPL 2 - The source uses kernel structs and GPL2 API

[Lucas Tanure]

Hi Guys,

Many thanks. It was just for the sake of curiosity. I know that I should
ask lawyers about that, but it's good to hear some view points from other
developers.
The best action is to simply not use their solution, and spread the word.

Like Jeff Haran, That is just too funny.

Thanks!!
