There are a few requirements. For the parts of Apertium, if you changed anything, you are required to add a notice stating what you changed (usually, adding a ChangeLog file is sufficient). You are also required to provide a copy of the GPL with the program -- putting it in an 'About' screen is usually sufficient -- and, as your program is interactive, to display a notice disclaiming warrantee (this part is as much for your benefit as anyone else's, though) As to your code; the GPL requires that you provide either the source, or a written offer for it, to anyone who downloads the binary -- all of your code must be available under GPL-compatible terms. As lttoolbox-java is GPL2-or-later, that means you're free to use pretty much any open source licence you want for your own code. This requirement that the whole project be available under GPL-compatible terms also extends to any other libraries you may have used, however. Lastly, you have to provide the build scripts necessary to create the binary. It does *not* extend to the images (the GPL calls this 'mere aggregation') -- which removes a potential headache for you, as they seem to be CC-BY-SA-NC, which is neither GPL compatible nor "Free". > Like I said in the other mail, I want from the start make it open source, I > have yet to make a final revision of the code and see under what license I > can publish it. > > Of course, the app is free from the start. If you send me the code, I'd be happy to look at it, and see what other licensing requirements you might have. I'd suggest that you also cc Jacob -- he's a Java expert, and, depending on the amount of free time he has, could have some valuable feedback. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
