Hi Esa, doing it that way certainly puts you on the safe side. For H.460.23/.24 Simon gave us license terms that also cover derived works, as long as they keep the license (see H46023_license.txt). For H.460.18/.19 the question is where does it start to be a "derived work" that needs its own license. When you use your own compiler ? When you fix a typo ? When you add a feature ? I can't really give legal advice on that. The licensing issue is one good reason to always submit features back to the project so you don't have to use your own version.
