I guess this is a fairly confusing issues .. I found a number of regular BSD licenses in the kernel , many under include/linux/ , include/linux/nfs4_acl.h in fact most of nfsd is BSD only, at least directly in the .c files. There could be some statement someplace else that I missed. include/net/ieee80211_radiotap.h include/linux/quota.h Just structures .. Is it possible that no code header files can be BSD only? From looking at the directory that is kind of what it looks like. Daniel -- Sent by a consultant of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.

The problem if it is only 3 clause BSD is what happens if somehow somewhere 3 clause BSD and GPL turn out to be incompatible. The easiest way to avoid that is to explicitly put it under both. It's not likely to happen but its also easy to protect against -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
