Why ask a developer a legal question, don't you all have a whole huge
legal department who knows all of this type of thing really really well?

Would you ask a programmer a medical question?

That being said, think about trying to justify the existance of a BSD
licensed file trying to access gpl-only symbols, why in the world would
this even be a question?  Why have it dual licensed at all when I was
told that Intel was NOT going to do this anymore for any kernel code?
