A position statement on closed-source kernel modules

No. It's not automatically a "derivative" of Linux just because it has a single bit in its
image changed by Linux.

Copyright deals with creative works, thus merely being influenced in some mechanical fashion
is not enough. The -content- matters, not the bits as such.

For this reason, Harry Potter retold in your own words, in Sanskrit, would still be a
derivative of the original, even if you took great care that not a single sentence is the same
whereas another book very well could NOT be a derivative even if it DID happen to share a few
dozen sentences with the harry potter books.
