Be careful about the "derivative works" part, if your userspace is tied
very closely to kernelspace, then both need to have the same license.

Hi,
ok thats great. But kernel code will go under GPL but user space code will not.
But again question is if the kernel side driver is released under GPL, then do
we need to follow coding styles like /linuxsrc/Documentation/CodingStyle?

Ok. thats great. because i was thinking if we have proprietary driver whose

But if we have to release the code (drivers) under GPL license, Does
