GPLed macros etc

Nov 19, 2004 0 Replies

I know that the GPL is "sticky" for statically linked modules.



So it is considered not to apply to pro=B4grams that are just run on the Linux kernel and use the dynamic libraries.



Moreover there is a "lesser GPL" that allows for non open source Kernel modules.



But when compiling any C source code I need to use macros in .H files and the linker includes some code from static libraries that come with the OS.



What license is defined for these file ?
