I fact, you can't link non-GPL code with GPL code and distribute it (*), but nobody will stop you from linking non- with GPL-code on your own system from private use. (*) But what about e.g. the non free nvidea drivers? These do link with the Linux kernel, and Linus doesn't mind. Rudy PS for the orginal poster: Do you know there are issues with the name Linux? Linux is just the kernel. If you fully support the GNU project you _could_ name the operating system GNU/Linux, or in your --- and my --- case Debian GNU/Linux. http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html will give you a better understanding. -- Rudy Gevaert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web page http://www.webworm.org GNU/Linux user and Savannah hacker http://savannah.gnu.org I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. - Woody Allen (1935-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
