GNU General Public License
The license that accompanies the GNU software, also known as a "copyleft". The GNU General Public License gives everyone the right to use and modify the material as long as they make it available to everyone else with the same licensing agreement.

Open Source
Source code of a program, which is made available publicly. The idea behind open source is that a broader group of programmers will produce a more useful and bug-free code, as more people will be reviewing it.
Open source also allows organizations to modify the product for its own use rather than hope that the vendor of a proprietary product will implement its suggestions in a subsequent release.
Examples of popular open source programs are the Linux Operating System (GNU), the Apache Web Server and the Netscape Communicator. For more information, visit www.opensource.org.
GNU
The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a free Unix-like operating system: the GNU system. GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix", pronounced "guh-NEW". Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the kernel Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often referred to as "Linux", they are more accurately called "GNU/Linux systems".

Note
Previous releases of the snom 100 were distributed with binaries from linuxppc.org for which sources unfortunately are not available anymore. Thus the sources listed here are the associated ones to the binaries but are missing the MPC (a PowerPC variant) patches. We switched to the LinuxPPC Cross Development Kit (CDK) available on www.denx.de.
