Linux kernel complete licence check, Q.19
Hello!
The part III, headers files. Some questions about licences, they should be
DFSG compatible, but I see some small problems.
Although the DWN of two weeks ago, the check is not yet terminated,
(and there is still a lot of works to do, but the remaining parts are
less importat: the driver and arch are not so vital, if we found a bad
license, the exclusion of some drivers should not give us much troubles).

This is free, ok?
But with the long list of action we can take don't include the compiletion
and distribution of binary. Is this included in "use and publish"?
* The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included
* in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
Portions of the Software includes also the binary? Nobody include such
notices in binary!
