How to protect intellectual property while maximizing open source usage?

 

Well, this topic is not a new one but it is an important part when
developing a product.

 

To ease the discussion, here are brief question-style arguments.

 

1. Should linux kernel module be released under GPL? (Simple question. :-))

 

2. If the kernel module should be GPL, then how can I differentiate the
operating system-related part of my product?

 

3. How can I legally develop my application using GPL’d library with
keeping my application code proprietary?

 

I hope many people can share their views and experiences. I will post my
opinion also soon.
