Reading the GPL tells me that really it is not correct to ship
modules either, athough I know people do it.
For these reasons I feel I will have to use some other OS.
What I don't understand is how people in the embedded world live
with this and the reason for embedded Linux unless you are
effectively running a PC with some apps.
Cheers
Simon.
