Yes it depends on the licences but all of them have some requirement, in the case of GPL 2 (the most popular Free and Open Source Licence ) grosso modo : - All the software you are packaging must be under a licence compatible with GPL (all the licences must not "reduce or remove" the freedom of the user) - All the modification you did to the software must be available in the form of source code - Binaries can be distributed but it is not necessary, only source code is necessary I will propose to do a presentation to HUS in december just about that subject, I should also be accompanied by a vietnamese lawyer. stay on the list to know more about the event > -- David Tremblay <david at roy-tremblay.net> IT analyst
