I don't quite understand this last bit. Firstly, I'm not aware of any agreement with the Linux Foundation over this and secondly one of the cardinal principles of GPL is the copyleft one that all downstreams get equal rights, so you can't licence GPL code to anyone in particular because you have to licence it to everyone. Thirdly, I think it should be the GNU General Public Licence. In the context of the kernel, that's probably taken as read, but if you're going to add it explicitly, might as well be precise. James
