コードの改造は自由なのでしょうか?
再配布は可能なのでしょうか?
著作権表示を改変しない限り~に関してもどこに書いてあるか、
誰か知ってたら教えてください。

NICのVT86c100aのソースには見当たりませんでした。
VT6107_VT8231_VT8233_VT8235_VT8237v40FVIAのLinuxのほうは、GPLのようです。
FreeBSDのものは、下の記述でした。

上のライセンスがどのソースコードに書かれていたのかは知りませんが、下のコメントにもあるように、それぞれの成果物に適切なライセンスをつけているようですね。
Re:viaのやつ (スコア:1)
そのときには、ライセンス条項を残せという、いわゆる修正前BSDライセンス風のライセンスでした。
これが適切かどうかは、私にはなんともいえません。
現在みたところ、VIAのダウンロードサイトから、FreeBSDのもの自体みあたりません。
どうなっちゃったんでしょうかね。
Re:viaのやつ (スコア:0)
FreeBSD では VT6122 用のドライバは vge として
相当のものが書き起こされて入ったので、
VIA 自身のものは不要という判断をして取り下げたのでは?
ちなみに vge ドライバを書いたのは Windriver の Bill Paul 氏。
Re:freely available? (スコア:1)
企業で採用されない理由でもあるんでしょうか。
Re:freely available? (スコア:2, 参考になる)
過去の話ですが、使用許諾に無保証・無サポートと明記されており、
それに同意し、ダンロードし自分で改造を行ったにもかかわらず、
うまくいかなくなると、、
「お宅のWebからDLしたLinuxドライバを改造して使ってるがうまくいかない。
サポートしてくれ、もちろん無料だよな?」
と言われることがありました。
本当にレアなケースですが、企業の規模が多ければその数も多くなるかと、、
企業で採用されない理由の一つかも知れませんね。
♯現在うちの会社はソースもサポートも最初から有償にしてたりします。
もちろんドライバ自体はフリーですよ。
Re:freely available? (スコア:1)
直接Linuxにcommitするとかいう形でドライバ提供するとまた違うと思うのですが、どうなんでしょうね。
プリンタのドライバもcupsかgimpprintに、XのドライバはXorgに、それぞれcommitする形で提供してもらえると、ユーザーに取っても使いやすく、会社に直接文句言って来る人も少なくなると思うのですが。

営業としては喜ばしい限り。。。
あと手離れもよければですが。。。。(おぃ
>直接Linuxにcommitするとかいう形でドライバ提供するとまた違うと思うのですが、どうなんでしょうね。
ソフト部門のLinux担当に実際どうなのか聞いてみます。
