The Devil is in the details. The issue for zLinux is license terms,
not the ability to submit kernel mods.

Again, the Devil is in the details. Why would IBM include a zSeries
module when it sends kernel changes to the kernel developers unless
those modules were functionally tied to kernel changes? I can see no
reason for IBM to include, e.g., an OSA driver, as part of a submitted
kernel change.
