Thank you for your reply. Good question. Yes, it's a gcc compiler so it definitely would/should be possible to remove the licensing. It uses FLEXnet licensing so it's probably tougher than some simple time-bomb somewhere. My hope was to avoid cat and mouse games with Montavista. For example, there is a "demo version" of the compiler (without the FLEXnet licensing) that all customers can get for free. I wasn't sure if any improvements were in the real compiler though. Other thoughts I had were potentially dropping use of the Montavista toolchain altogether and using CodeSourcery instead. Would that create other problems?
there is no cat and mouse game to be played, MV has to release source under the GPL and I doubt they would like to have the flexlm part there visible for all to see, so they better release one without... This is GPL violation, so simple! _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
