I concur, but I'd go a little further. A lifetime ago, I worked for a company that supplied Linux BSPs for folks building wireless routers. Our build system cleanly separated everyting based on license -- GPL and GPL-like (ie requiring source code), other F/OSS (eg Apache or BSD licensed), and proprietary (eg custom UI elements). At build time, it would create a set of images for the target, and a corresponding tarball of all GPL'd source code used in that build. Completely automatically. What's sad is how few actually managed to get source tarballs published. - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org Delray Beach, FL ^^ (email/xmpp) ^^ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
