and how do you think it is possible to write a library that uses a
kernel interface that is under GPL. We have the bdaddr_t and some other
socket structs that you need to copy. However ask a lawyer about these

And btw the Bluetooth library will be re-released under LGPL if I get an
approval from Qualcomm.
