| |
Hello
I faintly remember reading some article on the Net from Linus Torvalds stating something like if a piece of code is written specifically for Linux kernel, it must be under GPL.
I have got an nVidia NForce2 board and downloaded their Ethernet driver (nvnet) and they say in README: "the network driver provided by NVIDIA is subject to the NVIDIA software license". How is with compatibility of such a behaviour with GPL of the kernel sources?
