On the contrary - it is true but not in a strictly direct sense. The GPL status of the kernel does not impose any requirements on user level applications. However it does make it impossible or at least impractical for certain features to ever be included in the kernel thus putting it at a disadvantage compared to systems that can and do include them. And the software market follows this functionality. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
