"BSD" can indicate totally closed source material as well as other stuff
Also Keith is right - if it is GPL compatible BSD code linked with the kernel then its correct to describe it as Dual BSD/GPL anyway - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
