-
- Q: What are the conditions to do binary distribution?
-
- A: If you just compile the DDK drivers as-is, you can
- redistribute the binaries just like any other GNU GPL'd
- software - just provide the option to get the source code if
- you don't bundle it with your distribution.
-
- If you want to create a new driver based upon the DDK driver
- or API, you will need to get an OEM license from Apple Inc.
- Please contact Apple for details.
-
-
- Q: I want to distribute the DDK drivers with my Linux
- distribution, what do I need to do?
-
- A: You can distribute the DDK drivers just like any other GPL'd
- software - the example RPM spec and EPM list files can be
- used as a packaging template.
-
-
- Q: Are the PPD files produced by the PPD compiler automatically
- GPL'd?
-
- A: No. Just as with the GCC software, the output from the PPD
- compiler is not automaticaly GPL'd. You can provide the
- generated PPD files under any terms you like (including, of
- course, the GPL) via the Copyright directive in your driver
- information file.
