Kernel is released under GPLv2 and this allows me to ship object code with an offer to ship source code for the cost of distribution. I believe that this is what I an doing. Apparently there are several variants og GPLv2, but I am using the contents of the COPYING file in the kernel source which claims that this is *the* version to use if in doubt. I have seen other versions, which seems to support your interpretation. I do want to comply, so if you find that I am violating anything in the COPYING file, then please point out the paragraph. /ulf > > > > Regards, > > > > -- > > Robert Nelson > > http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
