glibc contains Linux kernel header code that the maintainers of the Linux kernel add to it. They can do so because contributors to Linux know that this happens and accept it. But third parties can't just take such code and put it under other licenses.
- colanderman 16y agoThis is interesting. I wonder about simply using generic POSIX headers. I realize this would be utterly complicated (knowing C's idea of "modularity"), but I suspect it could sidestep copyright issues?
