For a PC software, the GPL must be displayed at installation time but for embedded devices (ie. if a closed source software is used to send new kernel to the device) ? 3) Can I send patches to this list to add this new platform to be able maintain it more easily when kernel change implementation of some drivers ? Thank you for these informations. Best regards, Ga?tan Carlier.
