GENERIC is the name of the > default configuration for the _kernel_, isnt'it? Correct. It was *you* who brought up the issue of CDDL code in the kernel. Peter pointed out, very correctly, that the code in question is not included in the default kernel. Before you go any further with this, please take a moment to reflect on the difference between ~120,000 lines of highly complex kernel code and ~20,000 lines of fairly simple userland code which we know has already been (at least partly) reimplemented under a friendlier license.
