-/* Notice of general intent:
- *
- * The linux operating system generally contains large amounts of code
- * that fall under the GNU General Public License, or GPL for short.
- * This file contains source code that by it's very nature would always
- * be linked with an application program, and because of this a GPL
- * type of copyright on this file would place restrictions upon the
- * distribution of binary-only commercial software. Since the goal of
- * the Linux project as a whole is not to discourage the development and
- * distribution of commercial software for Linux, this file has been
- * placed under a more relaxed BSD-style of copyright.
- *
- * It is the general understanding of the above contributors that a
- * program executable linked to a library containing code that falls
- * under the GPL or GLPL style of license is not subject to the terms of
- * the GPL or GLPL license if the program executable(s) that are supplied
- * are linked to a shared library form of the GPL or GLPL library, and as
- * long as the form of the shared library is such that it is possible for
- * the end user to modify and rebuild the library and use it in
- * conjunction with the program executable.
