how would licensing the Derived Work under GPL because you included the GPL-licensed kernel change the kernel license?
- znpy 1y agoI wasn’t referring to the original project, but to what would effectively turn into a fork of the kernel. But i just realised this is a non issue: anything including gpl-licensed software is automatically gpl software itsef as the gpl is a viral license. So the original excerpt is useless.
- detaro 1y agono it is not. It is needed to allow you to license the Derived Work as GPL while including parts under this license.
