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