No GPL'd code is used for the Linux ABI support. Have a look at the code=20 under src/sys/compat/linux/. And look at the linux(4) manpage.

I think you will find many answers to your other questions in this lists=20 (or the chat list) archives. I don't recall any discussion hear about=20 Novell/Microsoft deal though. --0-61122867-1164466403=:21580--
