you will obviously inherit (and be redistributing under) the license<br>each item already has, which "should" be clearly included in the source<br>packages. If you don't find it, you'll have to try to contact the<br>
authors and get them to license it -- there is stuff out there with no<br>overt copyright (leaving the ware covered by a passive one -- new work<br>is copyrighted to the author(s) no matter what, basically) and with no<br>
license at all, or with vague statements about who can use it and when.<br>You can opt to include software only with v2, v3, BSD-like, or include<br>shareware or even commercial -- it is your distro, you choose.<br><br>If you write a packaging system, an installation system, or any<br>
NEW clusterware then you can choose your license, and GPL v2 or v3 are<br>fine choices.<br><br> rgb<br><span class="sg"><br>-- <br>Robert G. Brown Phone(cell): 1-919-280-8443<br>Duke University Physics Dept, Box 90305<br>
