[sleuthkit-developers] A question regarding the licensing of TSK

[Balazs Attila-M. \(Cd-MaN\) <x_a...@ya...>]

Hello, I already sent this mail to the sleuthkit-users lists, but probably this is a more appropiate forum to ask:

As part of a personal
project I created some code to make TSK capable of reading some image
formats used by virtual machines (VirtualPC, VMWare, Qemu and Bochs).
This was done by developing a "translation layer" between TSK and the
procedures from Qemu (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/).
My question is (since IANAL): how compatible is the IBM Open Source
License and the GPL? I'm asking this since the code taken from Qemu is
licensed under the GPL. If somebody with legal expertise could chime in
and confirm that this is ok, I would be happy to release the source
code (if there is the need that is).

Update: Qemu CVS just added support for the VirtualBox disk images (VDI), which should be easy to port over too.

Best regards,
Cd-MAN
