Subject: GPL/LGPL and the Linux kernel



 
 We were talking licensing issues here today and I was asked a question.
 
 If the linux kernel is under the GPL, it can be linked against glibc
 without a problem.
 
 Now let's say that I write a non-GPL compatible program and want to run
 it on Linux.  If it links against the kernel then I am in violation of
 the GPL'ed kernel license - correct.  If so, how do I run my program on
 linux?
