I'm not really the right person to ask; 'core' is.  I've cc'd them in.

Historically, the policy has been:
	(1) NO GPL'd kernel code allowed
	(2) NO GPL'd libc code allowed
	(3) GPL'd code elsewhere only as _necessary_, and then well
	    seperated (i.e. in /usr/src/gnu, and in no other parts of
	    /usr/src, nor included by programs in other parts of
	    /usr/src). 

I don't know what the current policy is, but i've not heard that it's
changed.



As for what copyright goes on code you write: that's up to you.  If
you wrote it (from scratch), and include it in a Linux kernel, you can
still release that code under a BSD-style copyright.
