ear: Our organization is planning a big project which is a Linux-Embedded system and will be sold as products in the market. Through our investigation, We want to use DriectFB at our system. But when we investigate the license of DriectFB we met some trouble.
We know the when we compiling the DriectFB, we need those sofeware which record at "http://www.directfb.org/index.php?path=Documentation%2FUser+Manuals%2FREADME" They are: 1. freetype (version >= 2.0.1) 2. Libjpeg62 3. libpng2 or libpng3 4. Zlib But we couldn't find which is necessary for usage.So which is necessary for the DriectFB usage? And we investigate each License to get this: 1. FreeType License/GPL 2. GPL/LGPL 3. zlib/libpng License 4. zlib/libpng License Is that correct? Through each Software we meet some trouble. For Example: libjpeg:GPL/LGPL. This is our comprehend of the COPYING and some record in the ansi2knr.c. Through our understand, DriectFB should be distributed under the GPL.See the ansi2knr.c file. How to understand the DriectFB under the LGPL? BTW: When we use the DriectFB, should we need to connect the each software team which DriectFB use requirement to get the License? For Example: DriectFB need libjpeg, we must to connect you to get a libjpeg license? If we must do like this, could you give our some advise? And whether we need to investigate the reuqirement of libjpeg? Maybe Those of questions are not suitable, but any informations will help us a lot. Thank you very much again! Wish a successful further cooperation! Best regards Zhan Zhaohua 2005.11.7 __________________________________ Yahoo!
