I have documents for a specific chipset which I get with NDA. And I'm trying to port Linuxbios on that chipset. As LinuxBIOS is GPL, I know I must make my port publicly available. In this case, Is it a violation of NDA or not? Does it depend on NDA?
- you can build GPL code based on NDA chipsets, but you MUST get the permission to do that from the holder of the GPL - it is a violation of the NDA if you release GPL code without getting permission - you do not have to release your GPL code if you never release your linuxbios to anyone outside ETRI. You only have to release code if you release object - If I were you I would consider using a different chipset if you can not get the vendor to agree.
