The existing drivers are under an MIT/X11 style license, which allows their source code to be shared with pretty much anything, including GPL licensed code. Making your driver MIT/X11 licensed, or dual licensing it as MIT/X11 and GPL, would allows other drivers to be able to benefit from sharing code with your driver as well. Of course it is totally up to you what license you would prefer to use. The FSF and/or GNU websites contain information on what you should place in your sources in order to properly legally indicate they are GPL licensed should you decide to not use the traditional MIT/X11 license which is more shareable. Hope this helps. -- Mike A. Harris _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
