More precisely it doesn't allow creating a derivative work out of GPL and non GPLed pieces. As in the case of the firmware code, where the firmware is in the same binary, but it consitutes mere agregation, as it is there only for transport convenience, things are not as easy, and mixing and linking do not always apply. Gah, i should maybe reconvert myself into an IP and free-software patent advisor or lawyer :) Friendly, Sven Luther _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
