need infos about license for a new fork

[jhubrt]

Hi, I have developed a sound replay routine specific for Atari STe starting from scratch working with the specific hardware limitations (1st version of the routine is published here https://github.com/gibs75/demOS). It has very strong contraints and I have made a fork of Milkytracker to allow to compose for this very specific routine. I would like to be able to share this work with the community at one point (even if this is a very special / dedicated fork).

My questions :

• are there specific constraints to follow about licensing ?
• what kind of license should be used for sources files added to milkyplay project ? permissive license (MIT, open BSD) ? can it be GPL ? (from what I have seen only higher level milkytracker project is GPL)

Thanks

Best regards

The replayer is BSD and the rest of the tracker GPL. See the file COPYING for details.

As I am not english native speaker... to be sure I well understand what these licences imply in my case :

• files added to replayer should be permissive licence (compatible with BSD) ? Is MIT ok ?
• changes into GPL3 parts should be notified as comment into modified source files ?

Am I right ?

@gibs75 yes, I don't see any problems with your approach.
