> > > I can give you rule of thumb, re: the subject you sent. By default, UCB-style copyright/license is preferred. For mandatory kernel components, it is mandatory. For optional kernel components, it's recommended, but not required. It must be possible for a third party to put the code on CDROM, do any component providing base functionality must not have commercial use or distribution restrictions (the intent is to allow commercial use of the base system, if desired). Note that the current GPL'ed code in the source tree meets this criteria (it is allowable on a CDROM, it does not implement any mandary kernel components, and kernel components that are GPL'ed are loadable as modules to allow the choice to encumber to be made locally by the end user). Last time I checked, the web pages didn't cover this; Jordan probably needs to make an official policy statement and publish a URL.
