OSELAS.Toolchain() is a ptxdist project, so the ptxdist license applies: https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/ptxdist/tree/COPYING In short: the BSP itself is GPLv2, but doesn't influence the license of the things built with it. > From what I understand the tools provided by the toolchain are all GNU > derivatives and therefore have the same licensing terms as the GNU > originals. Am I correct? Correct. > Have you transferred the copyright of your OSELAS contributions to the > FSF? In the past, some toolchain patches have been contributed back to the respective communities, the remaining patches are here: https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/OSELAS.Toolchain/tree/patches So technically, you are patching the components locally, so rules for chainging those components apply. rsc -- Pengutronix e.K. | Dipl.-Ing.
