I would suspect > it would at least need a GPL-compatible dual-license option. Yeah, Christoph Hellwig brought this up too. I said that I would dual license it (whatever that means with this) but I wanted to ask a lawyer first. The question is, is the FDL really incompatible with the GPL if what is protected by the FDL does not get compiled and shipped as a binary? Hence, I need to bring this up with a lawyer. And if it is indeed incompatible, then I will be sending out a dual license patch. -- Steve -- 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/
