    Hi all,
    
    With the addition of MODULE_LICENSE in 2.4.10, I got to thinking about
    the license of our security.h file.  Personally I think closed source
    security products are bad things for a variety of reasons, and I think
    that most people on this project also agree with me.  Toward that, I've
    added a few words to security.h keeping any closed source modules from
    using the security module interface to the kernel.
    
    I've attached the patch that I came up with below (and accidentally
    committed it to the tree, sorry, I didn't mean to do that without some
    discussion first, it can be backed out or changed.)  The wording isn't
    the best, but I think it gets the idea across.  Does anyone have any
    better wording they can think of for this?
    
    Or does anyone object to this change?
    
    thanks,
    
    greg k-h
