Sixty-five headers sat side by side in include/, so `#include "irq.h"`
said nothing about where irq.h was or what it belonged to, and errno.h,
stat.h and fcntl.h at the top shadowed the system's for any host tool
built with -I./include. They are in folders now -- arch/ core/ fs/
dev/ gfx/ net/ uapi/ (and ldls/ for the Linux driver layer) -- and
every include names the folder, as Linux's do: "core/proc.h".
Done mechanically and checked the hard way: the kernel built from this
tree disassembles identically to the one built from the tree before
it. The full image boots, and userland is the same set of programs.
Paths in docs and comments follow; docs/guides/layout.md has a table
of what is where, and tools/fix-includes.py rewrites old-style
includes from the folders in the tree, for code written before this.

Nexoniarz is the sole author and SchOS was never published under
Apache-2.0, so this is a straight relicence. LICENSE is the FSF GPLv2 text,
every first-party SPDX header moves to GPL-2.0-or-later, and NOTICE,
README.md, docs/licensing.md and the site say so. projects/schfs-linux
follows the rest of the tree.
The GPL gives copyleft: a fork has to ship its source. It also lifts the
old "Linux drivers, never" rule, since GPL-2.0-only code combines with
GPL-2.0-or-later. "Or later" leaves room for GPLv3, but one binary still
has to pick one version, so docs/licensing.md now keeps Apache-2.0 and
GPLv3 code out of the kernel to keep Linux code possible there. BSD
4-clause code goes from "avoid" to "no", because the advertising clause
is GPL-incompatible.
LDLS still ships no .ko. That boundary is now project policy rather than
a legal requirement, and ldls.md, devices.md and licensing.md section 6
say so. refmod declares license=GPL, and ldls-check passes (27 checks).

fastfetch reported "getifaddrs(&ifAddrStruct) failed", and the right answer to
that is not a patch to fastfetch. Asking what interfaces a machine has is
something every networked program does, and on Linux there is exactly one way:
a NETLINK_ROUTE socket. musl implements getifaddrs() over it, so a libc call
that looks like a syscall is really a small protocol conversation -- and without
this side of it every caller fails the same way.
kernel/net/netlink.c is a responder rather than a general socket family. No
event stream, no multicast groups, nothing subscribes to link state: a request
arrives, the whole answer is generated into the socket's buffer, and reads drain
it. That shape is chosen, not a shortcut -- getifaddrs sends a dump and reads
until NLMSG_DONE with MSG_DONTWAIT, so generating at send time means a read
never blocks and the non-blocking flag is honoured for free.
RTM_GETLINK returns one RTM_NEWLINK per interface with IFLA_IFNAME and
IFLA_ADDRESS; RTM_GETADDR returns one RTM_NEWADDR per address with IFA_ADDRESS,
IFA_LOCAL and IFA_LABEL. Anything else gets a bare NLMSG_DONE, because the
caller's next move is a read either way and an unexpected error message is worse
than nothing to read.
The data is not netlink's. Interfaces come from the netdev class and addresses
from lwIP's netifs, exactly as /proc/netif reads them; nothing in the file knows
what an e1000 is. Interface indices matter more than they look -- getifaddrs
matches address records to link records by index, so the two dumps have to
agree. Loopback is 1, netdevs follow from 2.
Verified by reading it back through musl rather than by inspecting the bytes:
lo flags=0x49 fam=-1
eth0 flags=0x1043 fam=17 (AF_PACKET, the MAC)
lo flags=0x49 fam=2 addr=127.0.0.1 mask=255.0.0.0
eth0 flags=0x1043 fam=2 addr=10.0.2.15 mask=255.255.255.0
Correct flags, addresses and netmasks, and the link records pair with the
address records.
One thing this does not close: fastfetch's Local IP module defaults to
default-route-only, which calls ffNetifGetDefaultRouteIfName() and reads
/proc/net/route. SchOS has no routing table and no such file, so the module
still shows nothing -- now for a reason that is about routing rather than about
enumeration. That is the next file to provide.
socktest still passes; the AF_UNIX and AF_INET paths are untouched.
