Oracle works on Dtrace for Linux (The H)Oracle works on Dtrace for Linux (The H)Posted Oct 7, 2011 13:00 UTC (Fri) by simlo (subscriber, #10866)In reply to: Oracle works on Dtrace for Linux (The H) by cmccabe Parent article: Oracle works on Dtrace for Linux (The H)
This is my interpretation of GPLv2:
Linux with DTrace kernel modules will be one program and must as a whole be under GPLv2. Linux+DTrace is a derived work of Linux.
You can distribute Linux with some DTrace stubs as GPLv2. Then DTrace under another license can be distributed as that is clearly not a derived work of Linux - the same way NVidia distributes their grapics driver.
