Way back in the early days of Linux, shortly after Linus Torvalds switched the kernel from his own "non-commercial" license to the GPL, he also added an important clarification to the kernel's license. In the COPYING file at the top of the kernel tree since mid-1993, there has been a clear statement that Torvalds, at least, does not consider user-space programs to be derived from the kernel, and thus are not subject to the kernel's license:
This copyright does not cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does not fall under the heading of "derived work".
Florian Muller est bien connu pour etre une sorte de pbpg en plus connu et plus fudeur (et plus fudeur). Il ne faut pas tenir compte de ses avis. Il doit lance un FUD contre linux et le logiciel libre par semaine.
