Network Manager Dbus API License
Hello All, I am working on a network manager frontend that will use network manager dbus api. Is there any license binding by network manager on dbus api . I other words I need to know that can I keep the source of my frontend closed and distribute only the binaries ?

My device has a maximum of five active connections at the same time and gets multiple dns-server addresses but should prefer one assigned by the dhcp client on eth0. Typically you'd set connections that you don't want to be primary as 'never-default'. That means they won't be candidates for the default route, and that also means their DNS servers will always be secondary to whatever connection has the default route. So only connection 'eth0' should be set never-default for your setup. You could also explicitly ignore automatic DNS information on those other connections to achieve the same result. Hmm Not exactly what I want. The fixed eth0 doesn't need a default gateway which is good. This is my control interface in the testbed environment. However the DNS of this interface is very important due to the fact that some servers in the testbed need to be accessible... I am now trying to use resolvconf I've noticed that NM modifies /etc/hosts which causes some troubles in the testbed (nodes are not recognized anymore). What is the cause of this change?

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.
