Vicam driver appears to contain misappropriated code



In the Linux kernel,
drivers/media/video/usbvideo/vicam.c

contains *long* sequences which appear to have been lifted from some other
driver without permission or attribution, probably by wire-sniffing.

Not short sequences, really long ones.

This is not just nondistributable, it's actually likely to be sued over: the
company clearly didn't authorize this use.
