At the time, concerns were raised over the validity of the exercise - Duly ignored.. Now the code includes several different licenses - GPL ver2, LGPL ver2, GPL ver2 & later, BSD, MIT, RA, dual GPL/BSD, and probably others. Then there are a few files that contain problematic phrases.. i.e.: // This is a generated file; the "corresponding source code" is the set of // files used by Altera's Quartus software to generate an .rbf-format // fpga firmware file. // This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify // it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by // the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or // (at your option) any later version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
