Okay, now I am really confused, I thought the GPLv3 refers to the system
libraries as the drivers interfaces, but that might not be a case, because
that is also the major component?
If that is the case, then my intention was obvisouly major component, but
I wonder what the system library means then in GPL v3?
As to that, I have no clue. I feel that the GPLv3 did not help on that part,
and makes it more confusing (and many other parts).
My understanding of major components of the OS, in GPLv2sense, is
kernel+libc+compiler+init/shell+drivers+libraries-installed-with-the-previous.
Ok, I just revoked the vote request on the 2nd question. Sorry for the
mess.
It looks like people prefer if GPL is not referenced at all in the
question, so please propose a (preferably short, but still precise)
wording for the vote about this.
Thanks,
Marton
