Comment Re:Doesn't the GPL "infect" all derivitives? (Score 1) 181
Suppose I contribute a device driver to the Linux
kernel code, and I wrote the entire driver myself.
No one else has contributed code changes of
their own to the driver. Am I considered to be
the exclusive owner of my driver code, or does
someone else (perhaps Linus?) have some ownership
rights over my code, since my code could be
viewed as a derivative work of Linux? Can I
license my driver under multiple licenses
(perhaps both GPL and BSD) simultaneously? Can
I take code from my driver and reuse it in a
piece of proprietary software?
