Google CodeSeacrh for

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.
