It is your code after all.<br>> Genode Labs is actually doing this for some pieces of code. For example,<br>> we maintain the qoost library (C++ utilities for Qt development)<br>> separate from Genode. This library uses the BSD license:<br>> <br>> http://sourceforge.net/projects/qoost/<br>> <br>> We simply make qoost available within Genode via the libports<br>> repository. The license of Genode does not affect the qoost library at all.<br>> <br>> It goes without saying that you are free to distribute the source code<br>> of Genode as you see fit (aka "bundle"). That is granted by the GPL.<br>> <br>> The restrictions of the GPL come into effect when you distribute a<br>> binary with Genode as an ingredient. In this case you need to distribute<br>> the source codes of the other ingredients (including the code that you<br>> developed) under a Free-Software license along with the binary.<br>> <br>> So it is ultimately the responsibility of the creators and distributors<br>> of binaries (not source codes) to make sure to comply with the licenses<br>> of all the parts the binaries are made out of. This way, the GPL ensures<br>> that the benefits of Free Software are guaranteed to be passed to the<br>> end user.<br>> <br>> Best regards<br>> Norman<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Dr.-Ing.
