Frequently I am asked to suggest real-time OS for client's project. In future I want to suggest eCos as an option to commercial OSs and Linux. I have few questions: 1. Do I have to give eCos source code to the client? Same for RedBoot? 2. Does client have to mention -- say in their product literature -- that their product is built on eCos? 3. If I tweak eCos to get better real-time response, etc. Am I required to post this change on discussion list, etc.? I would appreciate any help.
