I agree that OAFS is in this sense "Proprietary". But the source that is
coming from openafs.org is truly shared. So maybe it could still be
possible to get a special permission from ac to put "GPL" in this
particular case. Maybe accompanied with a detailed MODULE_DESCRIPTION
pointing to the openafs.org. In this way we still could get some kernel
debug from these guys, one day.
