"Oopsies " FreeBSD Devs Say There's Still GPL in the Kernel
6 hours ago
- FreeBSD thought it had removed all GPL code but missed some leftovers in the kernel.
- Remaining GPL code includes a header file from Linux kernel for Qualcomm SoCs and GPLv2 snippets in Device Tree.
- Most GPL pieces also have BSD licensing, so they may not count as purely GPL.
- The author finds it amusing that people strive to avoid copyleft, comparing it to Microsoft under Ballmer.
