(Where else > would the restrictions be?!) It talks about additional restrictions imposed on your GPL granted rights. It seems very simple to me.

Yet you don't object to those. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
