Baudline is a scientific signal analysis application. I was unsure whether the baudline license allowed packaging in nixpkgs, so I sent a copy of this nix expression (and some explanation) to their support. I got this reply: From: Erik Olson <erik@sigblips.com> Subject: Re: Licensing question Hello Bjorn, This sounds fine. What you suggest doing is very similar to how the FreeBSD FreshPorts system deals with baudline. Erik So basically, everything is good as long as we only distribute the _expression_ to install the package. We must not distribute the package (binary).
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
