NetworkManager is licensed under the terms of GPLv2 or (at your option) any later version. This license applies as long as you're distributing derived work from the NetworkManager source. Please make sure you read and understand the license: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/COPYING That is, if you distribute binaries that are built from a source tree that contains code taken from NetworkManager then you need to distribute the full source code with your binaries. If you're merely dynamically linking to libnm or just doing DBus calls from your own code (sounds like this is what you're doing), then no restrictions apply and you don't need to distribute your source code. > Regards, > Muhammad Ali Cheers, Lubo _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
