That doens't really matter. It's still a derived work of the Linux
kernel if you write to Linux filesystem APIs, and it still won't be
distributable. If you want to hack on it privately anyway you're of
course more than free to do so, but you should not expect help. Not
that'd you'd need it as you can hack anything you want into your private
non-redistributed tree.
Without sounding mean, but please go away with your attempts to bypas
the license we put on the code and vilationg our copyrights.
