    "People new to Linux do ask about the Linux and BSD people sharing code, but there are problems with this - mainly there are concerns over patents with the BSD license."

    erm, correct me if i'm wrong, but there's nothing that stops Linux people from taking code from the *BSDs.

    there is, however, something that stops *BSD people from taking code from Linux and putting it in their kernels - the GPL.

    *BSD people don't want kernels that can't run without GPL code.

    Linux people can always take *BSD code and smack a GPL on top of the BSD license.

    seems to me like Russell King has misunderstood something.
