I would pay money to see their code...

I really would pay to see their code...I am still laughing at the response..oh man.
I am not a kernel hacker, but I would bet a zillion $$$ that anything that causes error messages from code without the '\0' could have been fixed another way. More probably their closed source module uses so much stuff from the (GPL) kernel that it won't work otherwise.

So how did they figure out the "culprit" was actually the GPL checking code in the kernel? What a liar!

Anyone willing to reverse engineer this stuff just to see how true his words are?
