For legal advice, please consult legal counsel.

That being said, the source code to adb is available in the Android
Open Source Project, and so building from there should be no different
than building from any other Apache-licensed code base.

Note that I have no idea if the Windows USB driver source code is out
there, as I haven't gone looking for that.

[android-developers] Distributing adb

2011-12-21 Thread Brian Rowe
Hi,

I'm developing a system for which an Android application is a component.  I 
am considering distributing the adb as part of the system.  Does the SDK 
license allow me to do this?  Section 3.1 of the license leads me to 
believe that (re)distributing the adb binary may not be permitted.  Is that 
true?  If it is true, am I permitted to distribute a version I've compiled 
myself?  What if it's a modified version?

If this isn't the best forum to ask this question, can anyone point me to a 
better place to ask it?

Thanks!
Brian Rowe
