Thanks for taking the time to make the report and follow-up with the additional information. However, IIRC it is "well known" (though I did not find good documentation in a very quick search) that the -rt kernel has many interfaces that are GPL-only that are not GPL-only in a standard kernel, and as such incurs license complaints against the openafs kernel module. I don't expect to be able to do anything about this (other, perhaps, that documenting it better), unfortunately. -Ben
