5When it comes to licencing, the media addon part is heavily based on
6the VideoProducer sample code from Be (I don't remember their exact
7licensing terms, but they were quite liberal weren't they?). The
8driver part is partially based on the Linux FinePix driver by Frank
9Zago (http://www.zago.net/v4l2/finepix/ -
10http://sourceforge.net/projects/fpix/), that is where the Linux JPEG
11code came from and also where I got the device IDs. If the JPEG part
12is removed I don't think there should be enough left there to break
13the GPL, as the rest of the code is probably more "inspired by" than
14"copied from" the Linux driver. At least I remember having to monitor
15the USB traffic under Windows to get the setup commands right, and I
16also think there were some articles on writing a BeOS webcam driver
17and on using the USBKit that I used as references.

19I hope that made it a bit more clear!
20As for what I did, I'm more than happy for it to be under MIT licence.
