Agreed. If you are making a derived work, and pasting in stuff from a GPLed source, your work is definitely derived and you are GPLed. And I'd be with everyone else ripping you a new one if you didn't GPL it.
I hope people understand that I respect the GPL and what it has accomplished. It's a great thing. People should not abuse it. My comments which may seem against that are legal in their basis, not my personal goals. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - 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/
