Okay, now I am really confused, I thought the GPLv3 refers to the system 
libraries as the drivers interfaces, but that might not be a case, because 
that is also the major component?

If that is the case, then my intention was obvisouly major component, but 
I wonder what the system library means then in GPL v3?

Thanks,
