- Subject: Another copyright issue
As part of one of the ports I've recently done, I had to
add a couple of files which require special consideration.
They are binary data, and only applicable to a particular
device (nonetheless required to build RedBoot on the device
since it needs them to initialize the hardware).
The producer of the files (the hardware manufacturer) has
allowed their use, but they want their copyright on them.
I have amended this to look like this:
//
// Copyright (c) 2003 Intrinsyc Europe Ltd. All rights reserved.
//
// Redistribution and use in source or binary format is allowed
// provided:
// * This notice must be preserved
// * The binary data which this file represents may only be
// used on a NMI uPCI + uE250 based hardware platform.
//
which I believe preserves their use in the spirit of open source.
Does anyone have a problem with this?
