I have a general question about BSD licenses for statically compiled libraries. <div><br></div><div>The BSD license states, among other things, </div><div><br></div><div>{{{</div><div>Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification,</div>
<div>are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:</div><div><br></div><div>   ...</div><div><br></div><div>  * Redistribution&#39;s in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice,</div><div>    this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation</div>
<div>    and/or other materials provided with the distribution.</div><div>}}}</div><div><br></div><div>Is shipping an executable that statically links portions of a BSD library &quot;redistribution&quot;? Does the BSD license agreement need to incorporated in that case?</div>
<div><br></div><div>The above clause is meant to apply to the library. However, when using statically linked libraries, they become incorporated into a larger binary, which is usually not redistributable. </div><div><br></div>
<div>How are these cases usually interpreted?</div><div><br></div><div>--Nick </div>
