I agree with Joe on this, but I have to ask; What happens when someone makes a change to this file? The default kernel license is GPL-v2. Does this change automatically become the same as the file itself, or is the new change under the dual license? I've made changes to code that had a dual license that wasn't GPL compatible, and the company involved asked me to sign off on the other license (which I did). -- Steve
