As long as those other licenses are open source licenses, I think the usual practice here is to include the components in your tree -- along with their respective licensing information -- and choose "MIT" as the license of the overall project in Google Code's license selector. That will be accurate, because the new code that you're producing is indeed under MIT, whereas the other components are just redistribution of existing code (included simply for convenience). The license you choose on Google Code is the license for your project's own code. It isn't meant to restrict you from redistributing other open source code as may be necessary for user convenience. I don't speak for Google, but this is what I would do (in fact, I think I have done it before). -Karl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
