1NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel 2services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use 3of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". 4Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software 5Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Linux 6kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it. 7 8Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel is 9concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not v2.2 10or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated. 11 12Linus Torvalds 13
