Our licensing scheme is plain simple:
- your kernel-based code based on the Xenomai infrastructure falls under
the kernel license; typically, your driver is concerned. This is GPL
land.
- linking against Xenomai's libnative support makes your application
fall under the LGPL. Distributing it does not require you to provide its
source code (this does not however invalidate any other reasons why you
would have to provide such code, if any -- but LGPL does not require
that).
