FYI: this is what we do in libusbK. We do provide license files with the binary distributions. This license folder is included in the source archive and binary zip file. It is also in the installation directory if the user uses the installer. https://code.google.com/p/usb-travis/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FlibusbK%2Flicense C:\work\libusbk\libusbK-3.0.5.16-bin\license>dir 02/27/2012 11:03 AM 587 AUTHORS-libusb0.txt 02/28/2012 05:29 AM 2,186 AUTHORS-libusbK.txt 02/28/2012 05:29 AM 1,893 LICENSE-bsd.txt 06/01/2011 06:57 AM 36,580 LICENSE-gpl3.txt 05/04/2010 11:53 PM 7,816 LICENSE-lgpl3.txt C:\work\libusbk\libusbK-3.0.5.16-src\license>dir 02/27/2012 11:03 AM 587 AUTHORS-libusb0.txt 02/28/2012 05:29 AM 2,186 AUTHORS-libusbK.txt 02/28/2012 05:29 AM 1,893 LICENSE-bsd.txt 06/01/2011 06:57 AM 36,580 LICENSE-gpl3.txt 05/04/2010 11:53 PM 7,816 LICENSE-lgpl3.txt C:\libusbK-dev-kit\license>dir 02/26/2012 08:03 PM 587 AUTHORS-libusb0.txt 02/27/2012 02:29 PM 2,186 AUTHORS-libusbK.txt 02/27/2012 02:29 PM 1,893 LICENSE-bsd.txt 05/31/2011 03:57 PM 36,580 LICENSE-gpl3.txt 05/04/2010 08:53 AM 7,816 LICENSE-lgpl3.txt The AUTHORS-libusbK.txt and AUTHORS-libusb0.txt clarify the license further. https://code.google.com/p/usb-travis/source/browse/trunk/libusbK/license/AUTHORS-libusbK.txt https://code.google.com/p/usb-travis/source/browse/trunk/libusbK/license/AUTHORS-libusb0.txt The source code itself (if require license) has the following. https://code.google.com/p/usb-travis/source/browse/trunk/libusbK/src/sys/drv_driver.c You can say that we put lots of information with regard to the license of libusbK. But that may be because libusbK's license is a bit more complicated if compared to libusbx since it allows dual BSD/GPL license for libusbK related components. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
