for the FCC writeup, the requirements are that the source code is publicly available.<br></blockquote><div><br>Excellent.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

1. What license are we going to use?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>The Linux kernel is GPLv2.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
2. Should we move to <a href="http://github.com" target="_blank">github.com</a> today? I am happy to try to migrate the network dashboard code into there. What about: (1) the BISMark firmware build; (2) BISMark?<br></blockquote>
<div><br>The packaging system for the firmware is in general GPLv2 and in general copyright is held by the openwrt team.<br><br>Individual packages have a variety of licences, ranging from "free beer", to BSD, to various forms of the GPL.<br>
<br>I note that openwrt itself is VERY LARGE (gigabytes), and it would be a poor, and somewhat costly, idea to fork the existing capetown-wndr3700 repository and put on github. <br><br>Rather it would be best to document the (now very few) changes to the openwrt core, push anything they will accept up to them, and store the patches that openwrt would not accept as is, in a git repo per such.<br>

<br>
For the firmware and management software, I'm actually not sure if the repositories are currently public?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm uncomfortable with lumping all the various bits of openwrt into a single catagory called 'firmware'.<br><br>What do you mean by management software?<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
How should we handle this issue?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Carefully, and thoroughly. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
