Dear colleagues, I have not received any answer from Altera, yet. Maybe a fax or a paper letter would do a better job, I may try later. (Another option would be to contact Actel, now MicroSemi, but it seems to me to be more polite to talk to the original 99% code author, Altera.)
Leaving behind the fact that other opensource projects use the code too (the Chinese guy and CERN at least), I think we may resolve the license compatibility issue by ourselves. As I mentioned earlier, the only thing where Altera's license differ from GPLv2 is the stuff about US export laws. Here is an answer regarding very similar situation: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ExportWarranties Well -- it talks about the software originating as GPLv2, later distributed by a U.S. company. However, it seems to me that it applies to our case as well. It seems to me you _may_ include the Altera's code into UrJTAG. Do you agree?
