This is where the law leaves me behind, I'm afraid. If using syscalls
alone is considered not to impose tight enough coupling to contaminate
with the GPL, I can't see how using syscalls alone to read a particular
filesystem can be considered tight enough either.

(But then this is all completely academic for me anyway as everything I've
ever controlled the license for I've GPLed, except for a couple of LGPL
libraries written for a past employer. ;) )
