simply because the moment you compile your LGPL code for a specific
kernel, it becomes GPL. (The LGPL license says that when you mix LGPL
and GPL code you end up with a license conversion to GPL only)
So the L part of the LGPL only applies when the same code is used for
non-linux circumstances.....
