a) vmware for linux needs a linux kernel to work. does that meen you whant to gpl it?
b) you can write abstraction modules for different os's. and the non-gpl module works with all of them. so my module does not need the linux abstraction module it also works with the free- BSD module. the only #ifdef in my module will be around the module registration code. or i write a propriatary loader, so that even the same binary works for different os's
