There is another issue here as well.
Have you checked the Windows licenses (or rather the needed windows
development kits) and what they allow you to do? If i remember correctly
you run into problems there as well...
If i remember correctly to interface with windows you have to include some
SW from MS which is most definitly not GPL, and the license on those
portions forbid using it with GPL SW.
And this works from the GPL as well, because you cannot distribute the
relevant windows code (i do not think you even have the source), you
cannot distribute the complete set under GPL.
I am open to be corrected here, but this is my understanding.

Is it also forbidden to create a driver for a proprietary OS even when I
put the driver source under the GPL?
Please contact my IP lawyer at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and she will
explain the penalties for violating copyright law.
Oh, please don't be so rude. I didn't start the development yet.

Thanks Rudy. If MS wants Reiser4, they can damn well pay me a license
fee for it.
