<h2 id="licensing">Licensing</h2> <p>klibc is dual-licensed under a BSD three-clause<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> (formerly four-clause, rectified via the <a href="/facts/Historical_Permission_Notice_and_Disclaimer/McBHEeCQ">Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer</a>), as well as the GPLv2 (GPLv2 <i>only</i>, due to Linux-kernel restrictions). </p><p>This dual license allows compatibility with both non-copyleft software, <i>as well as</i> GPLv3 programs <i>via</i> <i>the BSD license</i> (which otherwise would not be compatible). (However, if klibc includes any GPLv2 kernel code such as that in glibc, the entire application reverts to GPLv2.) </p> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul> <li>Free and open-source software portal</li></ul> <ul><li><a href="https://lists.zytor.com/klibc/">Mailing list</a></li> <li><a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/191004/">initramfs and where user space truly begins</a> - LWN, <a href="/facts/Jonathan_Corbet/8uTsltvM">Jonathan Corbet</a>, July 11, 2006.</li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/early-userspace/README [bare URL plain text file] <a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/early-userspace/README" target="_blank">https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/early-userspace/README</a> <a href="#fnref:1" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:2"><p>Jonathan Corbet, (November 2002) Initramfs arrives, LWN.net <a href="/wiki/Jonathan_Corbet" target="_blank">/wiki/Jonathan_Corbet</a> <a href="#fnref:2" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:3"><p>"initramfs merge, part 1 of N". 2002-02-11. <a href="https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=103622506919278&w=2" target="_blank">https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=103622506919278&w=2</a> <a href="#fnref:3" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:4"><p>"Re: initramfs merge, part 1 of N". 2002-02-11. <a href="https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=103626389507412&w=2" target="_blank">https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=103626389507412&w=2</a> <a href="#fnref:4" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:5"><p>https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/early-userspace/README [bare URL plain text file] <a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/early-userspace/README" target="_blank">https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/early-userspace/README</a> <a href="#fnref:5" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:6"><p>Debian stable Klibc. <a href="http://packages.debian.org/source/stable/klibc" target="_blank">http://packages.debian.org/source/stable/klibc</a> <a href="#fnref:6" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:7"><p>"libs/klibc/klibc.git / tree".
