Our licensing scheme is plain simple: - your kernel-based code based on the Xenomai infrastructure falls under the kernel license; typically, your driver is concerned. This is GPL land. - linking against Xenomai's libnative support makes your application fall under the LGPL. Distributing it does not require you to provide its source code (this does not however invalidate any other reasons why you would have to provide such code, if any -- but LGPL does not require that). -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
