I-Linux Itholakala Kanjani Ngemvume?
ULinus ubeke i-Linux kernel ngaphansi kwe-GNU General Public License, okusho ukuthi ungayikopisha, uyishintshe, futhi uyisabalalise ngokukhululekile, kodwa awukwazi ukubeka noma yimiphi imingcele ekusabalaliseni okwengeziwe, futhi kumelwe wenze ikhodi yomthombo itholakale.  Lokhu akufani ne-Public Domain. Bheka i-Copyright FAQ, ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/law/copyright, ukuthola imininingwane.  Imininingwane ephelele ikhona efayeleni elithi COPYING emithonjeni ye-Linux kernel (mhlawumbe ku- /usr/src/linux kusistimu yakho). Kukhona i-FAQ ye-GPL ku: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html.  Amalayisense ezinsiza nezinhlelo ezihambisana nokufakwa ayahlukahluka. Iningi lekhodi livela ku-GNU Project e-Free Software Foundation, futhi liphinde libe ngaphansi kwe-GPL. Ezinye izinhlelo ezinkulu ezivame ukufakwa ekuhanjisweni kweLinux zingaphansi kwelayisense ye-BSD namanye amalayisense afanayo.
