Being under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 only, according with LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0. With an explicit syscall exception.'). The old license wording explained it as: 'This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".' Any other licenses must be compatible with this. | |
