| If Linux software doesn't run, for any reason, then the emulator has failed.
Or the software is poorly written, relies on bugs or undocumented features.
I can think of things that won't run on consecutive versions of the operating
system it was written for, this is under various platforms.
I can understand why uname might be used to build/configure software,
but, I don't understand why you would use it to licence your software.
There are better ways.
