PrimeNumber writes "Forbes has this story about the Free Software Foundation and its quest for Cisco and Broadcom to release the source of GPL'ed linux source used in routers. Forewarning: The open source community is not portrayed in positive light so you might want to skip reading this. However it did help me gain insight into software from a PHB and suit perspective."

    You are incorrect. First there is no 'kernel license'. Second, GPL is also used for user-land applications. Third, Linus has no 'interpretation' of the GPL. Forth, there are no exemptions.

    Thanks for playing.
