NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel

services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
16+
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel
22+
is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not
23+
v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.
