I'd start with talking to Neil Iscoe. Hes the UT Licensing Director for anything to do with UT stuff. He has a CS phd so hes on you team and hes widely versed in business deals. Hes with the Office of Technology Licensing. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm sure hes well versed on how UT is affected by the GPL..

Hi all,
I've read through quite a bit of documentation, and before I start
making recommendations at work, I'd like to clarify a few things.
Hopefully there are people on this mailing list that are well versed
with the terms of the GNU GPL.
I work for a research group at UT and we want to release all our
software under the GPL.
1. We use Qt in several of our programs. Since Qt is GPL'd, does this require that we release our software under the GPL?
2. We would like users of our programs to cite some of our published papers. It's somewhat acceptable to do this in the academic world. But we'd like the software to be otherwise under the terms of the GPL. Am I correct in assuming that what we want to do is modify the GPL and then use the modified version? And if we do this, then do we conflict with the fact that we use Qt which is GPL'd?
A more UT related question:
I know UT allows the release of software under the GPL. Is there any
paperwork associated with this? Who would I contact to talk to about
software licensing issues anyway? I know that the Office of
Technology Licensing handles this. But does anyone know a person I could
talk to who would be GPL savvy?
Any help would be most useful, and much appreciated.
Thanks,
Shashank.
