ReiserFS would be implemented FROM SCRATCH for Capital
in C++ with the help of existing literature/documentation etc.
By this I mean that no existing code would be used, that is
ported or modified in any way. This should mean that GPL 
would not be applicable to the code written for my OS, Capital.

Is my understanding of the license correct ? Are there any
other licenses that I should be aware of ?

Regarding Capital OS, the source would be made available,
but under a different license and not GPL.

And thanks for all the information.
