Usage-Guide:
|
||||||
|
This exception is used together with one of the above SPDX-Licenses
|
||||||
|
to mark user space API (uapi) header files so they can be included
|
||||||
|
into non GPL compliant user space application code.
|
||||||
|
To use this exception add it with the keyword WITH to one of the
|

License-Text:

NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
|
||||||
|
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
|
||||||
|
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
|
||||||
|
Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software
|
||||||
|
Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Linux
|
||||||
|
kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel
|
||||||
|
is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not
|
||||||
|
v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.
