I'm really sorry, but:
WHAT IS LINUX?
Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with
assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net.
It aims towards POSIX compliance.
It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged
Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries,
demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory
management and TCP/IP networking.
It is distributed under the GNU General Public License - see the
accompanying COPYING file for more details.
Straight from README file. As Linus says in COPYING (which contains GPL,
not LGPL), this doesn't cover "system calls" usage - that would be silly.
pf>> and who do you think funds this veture?
pf>> ***coughIDFcoughArmyIntelligenceCOUGH***
Do not understand this bit. Do you claim IDF sponsors MOSIX and that is
the cause of non-source distribution?
