Whether or not a program can use the API of a GPL work without being GPL itself is irrelevant to the kernel because the kernel authors have explicitly permitted that. The GPL is a model license, not a law. The kernel authors have not modified the text of the GPL, but they have provided an additional statement. The kernel license consists of the GPL plus that statement. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
