Yeah. Either this can be replaced with GPL, and it such case just do so, or it can not, and then it can not be applied to kernel. -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html -- 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/

Thanks. The kernel requires GPL, and its much much easier for everyone to state so explicitly to avoid future surprises (remember 4 clause BSD was once thought GPL compatible even by the FSF...) If you want to make it clear it's also available BSD licensed in this form (at least until someone changes it) see the wording in files like drivers/char/random.c That usually keeps all the lawyers happy.

Not good enough for kernel. Stop trying to push this.

Is it uncommon to use just a BSD-style license for headers? I understand that everyone would prefer just GPL. I'm primarily curious about preserving BSD licensing for headers under /include. A dual license would work, but would it also be frowned upon to use just a 3-clause BSD license like we have in this patch?
