The most important thing to do is to include a LICENSE file as part of |
| 28 |
your source code. Also you need to have some text in the beginning of |
| 29 |
all of your source files. Read all about there here: |
| 30 |
http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-howto.html |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
After you do this, make your source code availible via svn, cvs, or |
| 33 |
just via tar balls. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Then you can make an ebuild, etc. if you want it to work with portage, etc. |
