lisencing issues on JFFS2/MTD

lisencing issues on JFFS2/MTD

[Benjamin Tze-Kit Lee]

Hi,

What would the liscencing issues if I were to modify JFFS2/MTD and use it 
on a different OS in my embedded system application and sell it as a 
product?

Where should I go to look for that answer?

Thank you very much.

How much this makes sense will depend largely on the OS you're targeting.

Basically the stuff is usable under GPL. THis means you can redeploy it under 
any OS you choose, so long as you comply with GPL.

I did this with YAFFS. YAFFS started off under Linux, but I ported it to 
WinCE too. The WinCE file-system glue code is to be released under GPL (since 
this is what is required to comply with the original GPL code-base).
