Thanks, but no thanks. The rest of this paper is useless. It spends a bunch of time pointing out that the issue of whether separately loadable Linux kernel modules fall under the GPL could be complicated, but it's most likely that they don't. Um, OK. I think we all already know that. It's only the FSF that thinks otherwise, with their expansive and wrong view of what a derivative work is. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
