+=== Porting an existing application ===
 If you port an existing application to one of the distributions available on Openmoko smartphones, make sure you clearly understand and fulfill the requirements of the original software's license.
-Many Free Software uses the [[http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU General Public License]], which reqires you to accompany the distributed package with the corresponding source code or provide one of the other specified ways to receive the source code from you. We recommend that you always publish the source code next to the binary download, see the license for other options. Always check the actual program's license.

 Note, that you must provide the source code which exactly matches the binary package you provide. Including all your modifications. Not older, not newer source code than the binary package itself. Depending on the distribution method it may be easier to provide a link to the original source code and <tt>patch</tt> files with your modifications, this is also allowed in most licenses.

 If you write a new program, you may decide to publish or not publish the source code. We won't go into details of advantages or disadvantages of publishing software under Free Software licenses, but we are sure that the Openmoko community will appreciate if you choose a license which provides the possibility of reading and modifying your program to their needs and redistributing it as they wish.
