Signs of life from GNU Hurd

To be clear, I'm making the point that technical tricks, like moving code to separate processes, does not of itself change the licensing situation. I'm replying to the implication in sthibaul's comment (an implication he may not have intended) that the Hurd's micro-kernel + user-space server architecture inherently provides some kind of license-washing function.

What exactly the licensing implications are of taking Linux fses, wrapping them in user-space daemon code and having them talk to some general FS-namespace muxing daemon in a micro-kernel, such that it effectively depended on that Linux fs code, I couldn't quite say. Your word would carry some weight on that issue though.
