I've just read the License and I have one main doubt. What does it mean when it refers to a "third party"?, is it refering to other hardware that is not the Squeezebox Controller? , or to any organization/person who is not Logitech or myself?
After reading the Licence, I think one is allowed to make any modifications and add new code, but it seems it will only be allowed to be used inside the boundaries of the *Jive/SqueezeOS Platform*, that is... once we add -new code- to the *Jive/SqueezeOS Platform*, it will be "trapped/contained" inside the *Jive/SqueezeOS Platform*, so in order to move that -new code- around, you have to move the whole *Jive/SqueezeOS Platform*, but then again, you cannot transfer the "Original Code" to any third party (hence my doubt about the term "third party". Of course this is what I understood with my first reading of the License, and since every License is open to a lot of interpretation depending on the person who reads it, I think it would be good if someone could explain the License in a way that developers who want to contribute to the *Jive/SqueezeOS Platform* can understand it from their perspective. In my opinion is great that you can modify and see the source code of the *Jive/SqueezeOS Platform*, and I don't mind that the code can just be "distributed" for the Squeezebox Controller (not many companies allow you to tinker with their devices in a legal way), altough the potential and the "-technically posible way-" are there for compiling/using it on other devices (for example the iPhone, Nokia 8100, Openmoko Freerunner cellphone). -- pichonCalavera *rip* (eac) > *convert* (flac) > *tag* (musicbrainz) > *normalize* (replaygain/foobar2000) > *albumart* (winamp) > *transport* (winscp) > *store* (debian) >*rescan* (slimserver) > *play* (squeezebox) > *hear* (sennheiser) > *scrooble* (last.fm) > *enjoy* (me :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pichonCalavera's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13068 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41672 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/jive
