License-Text:



   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.
