how a new distro is GPL compliant?
hi,
who will verify that how far a new distro follow the all license and agreement of GNU GPL?
I may not follow the GPL. But i create a new distro
is it possible?
Otherwise, in which way a new distro would be GPLed?
Thanks

Re: how a new distro is GPL compliant?
If you collected the programs you're distributing for your new distro from somewhere like Sourceforge, there's a good chance all of them are GPL Licensed.

I'm not sure I'm understanding your question. Unless you created programs yourself, all the programs you pulled from other sources will more than likely be released under the GPL already, so if all the packages distributed with your distro are GPL, your distro will be GPL.Otherwise, in which way a new distro would be GPLed?Registered Linux user #270181
