[WikiReader] License review (was: Re: [Wikireader] Any news on Wikireader ?)

An independent review on this would be great. [snip] As you requested, I have begun a software review. This is a progress report. I downloaded the complete source tree from github on 10/22/09. I ran make and make install with no errors. The source tree does appear to contain some code under licenses that are not GPL compatible. However, so far I have not determined with any certainty if any of that code is compiled into executables that go onto the device. A lot of code goes into the tools instead. I don't have a lot of experience with make. If anybody knows a simple way of automatically generating lists of the files that get compiled into each target, that would be a big help. * 2464 files found Directory: host-tools/offline-renderer/mediawiki-offline contains a file indicating its contents are under license: GPL2+ Directory: host-tools/offline-renderer/pylzma-0.3.0 contains a file indicating its contents are under license: LGPL2.1 Directory: host-tools/fonts contains a file indicating its contents are under license: GPL3+ Directory: host-tools/qt4-simulator contains a file indicating its contents are under license: GPL2 Directory: samo-lib/fatfs contains a file indicating its contents are under license: "free software" Directory: samo-lib/forth contains a file indicating its contents are under license: BSD 2-clause Directory: samo-lib/mahatma contains a file indicating its contents are under license: GPL3+ I assume that no differently-licensed files have been moved into the parts of the directory tree listed above. __ The following analysis ignores the above directories. __ _ [BSD-2clause-stdlib.h] The following text: See stdlib.h for licence. ...appears in the following files: samo-lib/mini-libc/src/stdlib/itoa.c samo-lib/mini-libc/src/stdlib/ltoa.c samo-lib/mini-libc/src/stdlib/ultoa.c samo-lib/mini-libc/src/stdlib/utoa.c (stdlib.h has a 2-clause BSD license.) _ [BSD-2clause] The following text: * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions * are met: * 1.
