...is not the author's intention, as indicated by second hand reports
of clarifications ("BSD, but can't use the original literally") by
the copyright holder, and the copyright holder's (lack of) response to
copious reuse and redistribution.
As far as L/GPL incompatibility is concerned, you'll note that Sun,
the copyright holders, specifically offer Linux systems that include
glibc with GPLed applications, and an LGPLed libc, to their customers.
See http://wwws.sun.com/software/linux/index.html .
If anyone on -legal believes clarifications are necessary or would
be helpful, please feel free to get them from Sun.
Cheers,
