cannot be considered mere aggregation.
There are two drivers which use any of the 27 header files listed
in another e-mail. These are timod and tirdwr, written by Ole
Hsugaard. As I see it, they utilize LiS to provide a TLI
interface rather than being a part of LiS itself. As the
timod documentation states, "there is no TLI Provider code
within LiS". The fact that LiS compiles and runs without
these two drivers further indicates that to me.
Also please note that timod and tirdwr are separately compiled loadable modules and are not linked in with the streams.o STREAMS executive. Ditto for LDL.
They are in full compliance with the GPL and Brian has no right to revoke the license.
