From a Red Hat perspective, no problem with this userspace program being under GPLv2 or GPLv3 (or both, etc.) but as it stands, having looked at kselftest.h I agree with Thomas that it would have to be relicensed to something GPLv3-compatible, not necessarily GPLv3 though. I will leave this to Doug and Shuah and anyone else who should be involved to work out. Richard
