>=20

Everyone planning to write kernel-space drivers and/or applications
should keep an eye on some non-technical aspect as well: the license.
That's no problem for in-house, unpublished work. But for things that
are to be given away / sold, one should recall that the kernel community
is more and more considering non-GPL modules in general as a license
infringement.
