> The toplevel COPYING file of the kernel sources contains the exact > licence text for all files (including binfmt_som.c) in the kernel. The COPYING file contains the license text but it doesn't say clearly what the license applies to. The closest thing to this is the statement 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. in the COPYING file. The applicability of the GPL is parenthetical. The HOWTO file is more specific, but a clear license statement at the top level of the "source" tree is missing. Dave -- J.
