If you do that, then the library must be released under the same license of the kernel, GPLv2. And the kernel will become part of the kernel itself, so you will not have access to most things that you normally do from a library (file i/o, memory management, etc.) > In addition, the APIs of my library can be > exposed to the applications, either Java or NDK applications. Nope, that will not happen if your library is in the kernel, sorry. Why do you think you need your library in the kernel itself? Why not just ship it as a normal library? thanks, greg k-h -- unsubscribe: android-kernel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
