I think you'll find most of the base stuff, like glibc, is LGPL. Note that apps like Oracle's database, Lotus Domino and other "up-market" stuff isn't GPLed. You can get pretty far by using the LGPL stuff.
What happens for a kernel module? To use a pci card, you need to develop a kernel module. For example, Nvidia drivers I understand have a part that is open source (and needs to be recompiled for each kernel version), but another is completely closed - that makes the kernel say it is tainted, isn't it? How does NVidia do it? Just curious. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
