It is still dual BSD / GPL v2 licensed. * The HAL is still binary only and will still taint the kernel. http://madwifi.org/browser/trunk/hal http://madwifi.org/browser/trunk/hal/public Hm http://pedia.media.mit.edu/wiki/OLPC_on_open_source_software • Must include source code and allow modification so that our developers, the governments that are our customers and the children who use the laptop can look under the hood change the software to fit an inconceivable and inconceivably diverse set of needs. Our software must also provide a self-hosting development platform. • Must allow distribution of modified copies of software under the same license so that the freedoms that our developers depend upon for success remain available to the users and developers who define the next generation of the software. Our users and customers must be able to localize software into their language, fix the software to remove bugs, and repurpose the software to fit their needs. -Andy
