What is the GPL?

Netscape Public License FAQ
The GNU General Public License (or GPL) was developed by the Free Software Foundation. Unlike the BSD License, it maintains free source code by a fairly complex set of rules. It requires that any "derivative works" based on software covered by the GPL also be covered by the GPL, and that source code to these works be made publicly available. This means than any development that anyone does that is derived from GPLed code must also be made free.

Is the Linux Agent GPL?

Halcyon PrimeAlert Products FAQ
Although Halcyon sells products containing GPL code, and complies with the license accordingly, the Linux Agent itself is under a proprietary license. The AlarmRouter package will install a /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/HALEventTrap.mib file on your SunMC Server. This files describes the format of the SNMP traps that EventAction sends out. This MIB file can be used with other frameworks so they understand SunMC events.

Will there be a port to the Mac / Linux?

Frequently Asked Questions
Not unless someone volunteers to do it :) It would be an understatement to say it would be a non-trivial task. Wine might offer a way to port the Gecko / control to Linux / x86 Unix systems using the Win32 API but linking to WINELib. Note that the control uses ATL which might have certain licencing issues surrounding it. The alternative is to write an open source ATL look-a-like, with the subset of functionality that the control requires.

How about Linux? Will you do a port?

RatDVD.CA - F.A.Q.
I would be interested into doing a Linux port. However, since I am an ignorant Windows nerd I have no idea how it can be done. What I will do is releasing more and more components as open source over time and so people, who know what they are doing can work on it. One thing I do know is that porting the UI is probably not hard since it is Delphi and can be recompiled with Kylix relatively simple.

What is the relationship between RasMol, Linux and the GPL?

OpenRasMol FAQ
RasMol 2.7 runs quite nicely under Linux. There are pre-compiled binaries of the 2.7 series to run under Linux. Starting with the RasMol 2.7.3 release, RasMol may be distributed under the GPL. However, earlier RasMol 2.7 releases are not covered by the GPL. Those RasMol 2.7 releases have their own "GPL-like" license (RASLIC, which carefully avoids certain issues which, until recently, would have caused problems if we had used the GPL for those releases.

How Do I Port XXX to Linux?

Porting, Compiling and Obtaining Programs
In general, *nix programs need very little porting. Simply follow the installation instructions. If you don't know—and don't know how to find out—the answers to some of the questions asked during the installation procedure, you can guess, but this tends to produce buggy programs. In this case, you're probably better off asking someone else to do the port.

Will there be a port to {Linux, Macintosh, Palm}?

Graphmatica FAQ
Unless I get laid off again, no, I don't currently have any time to spend on additional ports. (And if I do, the most likely next platform would be PocketPC.) If you are experienced in one of these platforms and C coding and would like to partner with me on doing a port, please let me know. Adventurous Linux users may want to try running the Win32 version on top of Wine.

Are there plans to port Transana to Linux?

Transana
this point, we don't have official plans to port Transana to Linux. With the new video infrastructure for Transana 2.20, it actually shouldn't be too difficult to create. Rumor is that Transana mostly works on Linux when run from source code. Window sizing is a bit dodgy, and the File Management Tool doesn't work because there isn't a Linux version of the SRB dynamic library. Otherwise, it appears to work acceptably. Please note, however, that this is NOT officially supported.

NeoOffice Early Access FAQ - NeoWiki
The GNU General Public License (GPL) explicitly allows for sales of software, and for collecting fees for services like distribution of free (as in speech) software. However, we are not selling software; the Early Access Program is providing advanced access to free software. Plus, the source for NeoOffice is still publicly available and free (in both senses of the word). If you want NeoOffice 2.2.1 without paying $25, you are free to check out the source code and build it yourself.

Can I freely distribute videos created with Xvid or is such video also covered by the GPL?

Xvid.org: FAQ
Yes, you can. The output or result from running a program is not covered by the GPL license. Hence, videos created with the Xvid encoder are not subject to the terms of the GPL. Note however that you of course can only distribute videos where you hold the copyrights or where you have permission to distribute from the copyright holders. But that has nothing to do with Xvid and should go without saying... No, thanks.

Will you port baudline to Linux x86_64?

baudline FAQ
Using JACK on a 64-bit platform requires baudline x86_64. Some Linux distributions, such as 64-bit Ubuntu 7.10 don't, include the 32-bit compatibility libraries as default, so baudline x86_64 is required for those installations too. The 32-bit i686 version of baudline runs about 4% faster than the 64-bit x86_64 version. So if performance is important then running 32-bit i686 baudline on a x86_64 CPU and 64-bit operating system would be beneficial.

If you choose to provide source through a written offer, then anybody who requests the source from you is entitled to receive it.
