Hello

My project is like a linux kernel module and OMNeT++ is the kernel himself: I 
can't run the module without the kernel! I have to talk with the author to 
see what he can do for me.

There also is an other dependancy, the TT-Library. Is the licence described 
there (see my last mail) compatible with the GNU licence?

Regards
Dragan Isakovic
