I'll recheck then. I heard from a couple of sources, including RMS at a
lecture, that Linux switched to Library GPL, however I didn't check
COPYING on the 2.2.x directory till now, and indeed you are right.

what's not to understand? say country Foo has security problems, and has
to defend itself by knowledge, hi-tech and nuclear stuff. Country Bar
bars it from acquiring Hi-tech computers because of the nuclear thing,
so it has to get people to invent it's own, or smuggle a few.

all theory, ofcourse :-)
