--- Comment #20 from David Carter dcarter@entertain-me.com 2008-12-01 17:50:19 EDT --- The legal opinion is in. Looks like I'll have to some modification.
From Tom Callaway:
"Unfortunately, it isn't okay.
This is non-free, because there is no permission to redistribute modified versions of code under this license, only to "Make copies of the original file you download and distribute it". That, combined with: "Except as expressly stated above, HP and tang-IT grant no other licenses, express or implied, by estoppel or otherwise, to any intellectual property rights." means that we cannot assume permission to distribute modified/derived works is implied.
HP usually does a better job of this, perhaps they'd be willing to fix this license, or re-license this work under an established free license?"
Stefan, any comments on the last paragraph? I know licensing held up the initial SDK release
