(LGPL code *might* be permitted, but nobody has asked the question firmly enough yet. We'll have to consult counsel at that point.) Since OpenQwak is GPLv2, code from that distro is not allowed. However, some of the upstream components are released under a compatible license, and could be included if offered. It would *not* be possible to take the downstream patches from OpenQwak though, as once again, that would taint the distro. -- Randal L.
