Google CodeSeacrh for
MODULE_LICENSE.*0
and you'll see
hsfmodem-7.47.00.03x86_64full/modules/cnxthwusb_common.c - 6 identical
15: MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Conexant low-level hardware driver"); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL\0for files in the \"GPL\" directory; for others, only LICENSE file applies"); MODULE_INFO(supported, "yes"); gentoo.osuosl.org/.../hsfmodem-7.47.00.03x86_64full.tar.gz - Unknown License - C - More from hsfmodem-7.47.00.03x86_64full.tar.gz »
It seems, hcfpcimodem-1.10full.tar.gz from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/downloads.php also uses GPL\0 trick.
Patch is obviously not tested (and I'm not sure name is right, got it from Ubuntu forums and tarball filename),
Does someone know internal contact so we can weed out all names and blacklist them in bulk?
P.S.: Curiously enough, binary parts are *.O , not *.o . Presumably, .o suffix scares their developers, while tainting messages are busy scaring their users.
