[ghost]

Just wondering, with the purchase by Broadcom and their moves to remove all these products and place them behind subscriptions, is this project still active? I see that there have been no commits since February.

From issues, it seems the latest forked one is https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git

[yum13241]

Btw, workstation pro is free for personal use (tm). Player is discontinued for this reason, but you need to be on a version newer than 17.0.2.
