Aeder on Nostr: If one uses GPL2 driver code as reference to write documentation for hardware, and ...
If one uses GPL2 driver code as reference to write documentation for hardware, and then someone (or the same person) uses the documentation to write drivers in a different language for the same hardware, would it need to use the same license or can you slap some other license like GPL3 or whatever on the new code?
