> That is factually wrong. That answer is factually wrong. Did you even bother reading the sources you cited or ever read the GPL? The first couple links side with the OP and the third doesn't address the OP's point.

I don't see how it can be made any more clear. If you remove the GPL code, it no longer need to be under GPL. Did you bother to read the sources, and do you have any sources to support your clearly false claims? The third link was about the linux emulation laying being used to including linux drivers into freebsd through the port system. You said it was impossible, yet they did it. The impossible happened, and is/was used for USB support particularly.

Don't bother. Look at his comment history; he seems to be a complete anti-BSD zealot and spreads FUD about the BSD projects and BSD licenses. As for linux compatibility, the provided link has nothing, nothing whatsoever with linuxemu, the Linux API compatibility layer provided by the FreeBSD base system. I won't bother anymore, as by reading his post history it's obvious he mixes BSD technology and terminology because he is completely unfamiliar with the concepts he speaks about.
