You shouldn't, although many people do. It's a derived work and hence the GPL is applicable. The only exception we make is for code which was written for other operating systems and was then ported to Linux. Because it is inappropriate to consider such code a derived work. - 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/
