/* 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.
