Because I will be modifying the source code for download.c, and then using it as part of my logo editor program, am I obligated to include the download.c sources? Is it released under GNU or anything?

Only if the code you took it from was under a GNU Licence.

Right, that's what I'm asking. Is download.c released under the GPL?

Surely if the header of the file doesn't say it's under GNU then it can't be ?

Download.c as I remember isn't under any licence; if I'd written it nicely then I might have bothered :)

I suspect it can be treated as public domain/freeware (ie, do what you like with it). There's not a lot that can be changed and still expect it to talk to the empeg's reflasher :)

Thanks, Hugo, you're right, there's not a lot to change. All I did was add a "port" parameter and change some of the output messages, then included the compiled .exe with my logo editor.
