As one of the copyright holders I make no such exception. Its either a derived work in law or its not. In the former case obey the license or remove every line of code derived from anything I wrote. If it's not a derived work then fine. If you aren't sure ask your lawyer.

I believe others like the FSF whose code is used in the kernel have similar views] Alan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
