PCI Interface: Timothy has stated that this will be GPL from the
beginning as well.
VGA Interface: Also currently to be GPL.
Misc Interface and Glue: I expect this will be GPL'd as there are no
real useful (from a business point) secrets here.
Not GPL. These three things are under LGPL. This way, nothing else
is infected by the GPL. Things that I or anyone else want to link to
them are not required to be released.
Yes, sorry, LGPL. I spent a bit of time reading the LGPL this evening.
Caveat here as needed: IANAL. The way I interpret is distributing an
FPGA bit file containing the above modules or an ASIC containing them
without also providing the source would fall afoul of section 6 of the
LPGL. This is mainly do to the nature of hardware vs software I think.
It is much harder to "re-link" hardware...
