GPL is transitive, so does that mean all software in the Tesla becomes GPL? If not, please explain. GPL has no linkage/classpath exception.

GPL has no linkage/classpath exception It does exclude aggregation; not all software delivered in a lump with GPL code is necessarily part of the same work for copyright purposes, and therefore for GPL purposes.
- singron 7y agoSoftware that isn't linked with GPL sources probably isn't GPL. If it's just the linux kernel and busybox, then probably all the interesting userspace software isn't GPL since it wouldn't be linked.
