1 NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
2 services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
3 of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
4 Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software
5 Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Linux
6 kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.
8 Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel is
9 concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not v2.2
10 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.
