Hi Greg/Steve,
One final question (I hope) regarding licensing formalities:
What year copyright notice should I write?
According to the CVS logs:
ledman.c was 2005
tclmod* was 2005
regex* was 2004
noextensions.c was 2004
Here is a sample heading I plan to add:
/*
* noextensions.c
*
*
* Copyright (c) XXXX Snapgear
*
* See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and
redistribution
* of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES.
*
*/
This heading is based on one of the Sun tclLoadX files.
(I added license.terms to my directory, from a later tcl version.)
Can you send a patch after you have done this?
I can add it to the uClinux-dist sources then as well.
Thanks
Greg

Hi Greg and Steve,
Thanks for your support!
I will add the headers per my customer's request.
BTW, the reason they only "picked on" only some files is because they
diffed our sources with the original tinytcl (dos) release.
They only complain about new files.
Thanks again,
- Arnon

Hi Arnon, Steve,

Firstly, it's good to see tinytcl getting some active use.
Now:
tclHistory.c and tclLoad* all came from a later version of Tcl.
Version 7.2, or 7.3 from memory. So these are all covered by the same
BSD licence.
(tclLoadDl.c has a licence header)
I created all the rest while at Snapgear, so they would control the
copyright, but I would be surprised if they didn't wish to keep the
same BSD licence for these components.
Perhaps Greg can answer here.
Yes, for SnapGear's part we intend all the extra files in tincytcl to be
licensed under the same license as tinytcl itself.
There is no question mark over tclLoadDl.c and tclHistory.c, they have
copyright headers already.
If tclLoad.[ch] came from newer tcl then they are covered by the same
license.
So for:
tinytcl/extensions/ledman/ledman.c
tinytcl/noextensions.c
tinytcl/regex_compat.c
tinytcl/regex_compat.h
tinytcl/tclmod.c
tinytcl/tclmod.h
as created by Steve they are also licensed under the BSD style license
of the tinytcl package.
I am interested though in why they didn't pick on other files in tinytcl
that don't have any sort of copyright/license comments in them? (for
example dos.c?)
Regards
Greg

Hi,
A customer of my company will soon be releasing a wireless product
based on our design, using much GPL code on the host SW side.
Our customer is very strict on GPL compliancy, and they complained
about files in tinytcl that are missing license/copyright headers in
the src code.
Could you please comment on the licensing of these files? Were they
written by snapgear, or taken from other sources? Can I add a GPL/BSD
header to these files?
The problematic files are:
tinytcl\extensions\ledman\ledman.c
tinytcl\noextensions.c
tinytcl\regex_compat.c, AND and regex_compat.h tinytcl\tclHistory.c
tinytcl\tclLoad.c, AND tclLoad.h tinytcl\tclLoadDl.c
tinytcl\tclmod.c, AND tclmod.h
Thanks for your help!
