One of the problems with "sysline" and the whole "ps" type
of software is that at some point some guru wrote ps and "almost" everybody
has been using his/her code ever since.  I have several programs
that all started their lives by myself digging through ps.

I cannot be sure if this is derivitive code since I COULD NOT
have written them on my own if I had not had ps as a reference.
Also,  when I get source, what are my rights then?  I am using
information that I could not have gotten otherwise and making
public code out of it.

Any comments?   

Anybody have a public domain kernel dive model
I can use as a reference so that what I write is public? :-)
