29/* Notice of general intent:
30 *
31 * The linux operating system generally contains large amounts of code
32 * that fall under the GNU General Public License, or GPL for short.
33 * This file contains source code that by it's very nature would always
34 * be linked with an application program, and because of this a GPL
35 * type of copyright on this file would place restrictions upon the
36 * distribution of binary-only commercial software.  Since the goal of
37 * the Linux project as a whole is not to discourage the development and
38 * distribution of commercial software for Linux, this file has been
39 * placed under a more relaxed BSD-style of copyright.
40 *
41 * It is the general understanding of the above contributors that a
42 * program executable linked to a library containing code that falls
43 * under the GPL or GLPL style of license is not subject to the terms of
44 * the GPL or GLPL license if the program executable(s) that are supplied
45 * are linked to a shared library form of the GPL or GLPL library, and as
46 * long as the form of the shared library is such that it is possible for
47 * the end user to modify and rebuild the library and use it in
48 * conjunction with the program executable.
