This is also my understanding.

Except the PPS GPIO poll source code isn't distributed _with_ the Linux
kernel. That is, it isn't part of the kernel repository. As such, I don't
think it is safe to assume the Linux syscall exception applies to the
source code.

I have another post coming that'll provide more details of what I'm trying
to accomplish. I'd prefer to keep this thread on the topic of the license
itself.

It would be nice if the license made explicit reference to the Linux
syscall exception. That is, being released under SPDX GPL-2.0 with
Linux-syscall-note.

Thanks again!
