Parent article: Has Bionic stepped over the GPL line?

"Re 2: Linus and RMS are talking explicitly about this exact point in the emails I link. Their intent surely means something here... if somebody came out of the woods and claimed their lines in *.h were meant only for use in GPLed code, the above, unambiguous, statements to the contrary (which as a contributor to the kernel everybody is aware of) would surely get them into big trouble."

In other words, this quote, above, is 100% incorrect:

"Re 2) What Linus Torvalds and RMS said is not related to Bionic and doesn't answer any of the legal questions at issue here."
