* frm hch@caldera.de "10/25/2001 05:25:40 PM +0000" | sed '1,$s/^/* /' * * Hi Linus, * * the appended patch exports the syscalls (GPL-limited), this is needed * for the Linux-ABI modules so they can use the syscalls in their * syscall tables for non-Linux personalities.
What is the rationale for marking these as GPL-exclusive symbols ?
I thought system calls were a public interface.
