there are several releases there; I don't know which corresponds to which version off hand. I've been looking at iDRAC_3.0.zip... it's confusing, as there is both iDRAC on modular (blade) servers, and iDRAC on monolithic (1U and 2U and such) servers, and they are different code bases for each. > > AFAIK, none of the components in the iDRAC 6 firmware > > are GPLv3-licensed, or require us to provide a full build and reflash > > environment.

The versions of both readline and samba that are in iDRAC_3.0.zip are still GPLv2-licensed, and, best as I can tell, so all the other GPL components in that file. -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist Dell | Office of the CTO _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
