2. Linux kernel

NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is

merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of “derived work”.

Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, but the instance of code that it

refers to (the linux kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.

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.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not

allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast,

the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to

make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software

Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software

Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your

programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are

designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this

service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or

use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
