Yeah, but in a back-of-envelop calculation, to completely determine what code is derivative of what in Linux, one would take approximately 19 man-years. Maybe some automated way to study cvs.kernel.org changesets would shorten it up a bit, but ... ;-)You're correct in that anything that's a derivative work of any GPLv2 code also cannot be distributed under GPLv3 or later. But it's going to be very interesting to figure out what code is a derivative work of what. Anyway, this seems rather theoretical. Arnoud
