Does anyone have information on what the future will be for

and ATI driver fglrx 8.476" at...
http://www.frogge.de/pepper/patch/patch.html#fglrx
...it appears that the Linux 2.6.25 kernel has been changed
to coerce the non-GPL drivers into changing their license
by restricting access to kernel symbols for non-GPL drivers.
Does anyone know if Fedora 9's kernel disabled that change
or will we have to wait until ATI works around the new
limitations on compiling their non-GPL drivers under
the 2.6.25 kernel?

I files a bug against fglrx at livna when their package didn't build for
me on F9 Preview on x86_64, and the answer was that we had to wait for
ATI to release a fix for the 2.6.25 kernel series.
