distribute as library.

Hi All,

I have scenario where in we have to distribute a module as library (non-GPL) for the 2.4.x kernel.

This module will then be used by the skeleton code (distributed with source) to generate the KLM. Now I would like to know a few things here.

1) Can I distribute the library (non-GPL) along with the skeleton code (source) with out breaching the GPL? 
NOTE: this library uses proprietary source code and is not derived from any of the existing GPL Linux sources.
2) How do I distribute this library as static (.a) or dynamic (.so)?
3) How can I compile a library which need not be again compiled for sub versions of 2.4.x? I mean for example the same library should work for 2.4.1x and 2.4.2x kernels.

Your comments or any pointer which discusses this in depth will of great help.

Thanks,
-Jinu
