The default is "any version > you like". That's right, but Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated. Linux specifies version GPLv2 and only v2. Therefore, for Linux the GPLv2 is the default. -- Filip Brcic <[email protected]> WWWeb: http://purl.org/NET/brcha/home/ Jabber: [email protected] Jabber: [email protected] Jabber: [email protected] ICQ# 40994923 Yahoo! brcha MSN: [email protected]
