RE: License terms for LinuxBIOS

[marc . miller]

Madhu, LinuxBIOS is covered by the General Public License.  There should be no problem with turning LinuxBIOS into a commercial product, as the GPL does not require you distribute your project free of charge.  However as per the GPL restrictions, you must be able to provide source code to customers that request it or include the source in your sold product.  That's even if you only use part of the LinuxBIOS sources.  So, "free speech, not free beer."  -----Original Message----- From: Madhu Lakshmanan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 4:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: License terms for LinuxBIOS Hi,      I am thinking of using LinuxBIOS sources for all or part of the development of a BIOS for a commercial product. What are the license terms / issues associated with that?   Thanks,   Madhu Lakshmanan Caymas Systems Inc.
