I would suggest you give the GPLv2 a read and see what your own obligations are under it. Then do some reading about compatible licenses. Your license choice needs to be compatible with both the otf2bdf license (which I'm not entirely sure about, so you need to find that out) and the convbdf license (GPLv2 or later).

Geez, I almost wish I made by own programs instead of using convbdf and otf2bdf...  :o

Welcome to Rockbox. This is open source and free software taken very far. Your spirit seems to be quite the opposite...

It doesn't seem to me that he doesn't share the spirit. He released the source. I think he just doesn't want to mess with all those licensing issues (which I can understand).

But it needs to be done.

That wouldn't save you the licensing either.

How so? If he's written all of the code himself he can do whatever he wants with it.
As far as i know, the GPL doesnt require that all programs linked to in a forum are licensed under the GPL.

If you distribute software, you have to think about licensing. Whether or not that means open source has nothing to do with it.

How do I apply a license? Just say "This software is licensed under GPL v2.0"?

 Hi:

  I clicked on the download link but MediaFire comes up with an error, most likely the file has been removed. Is there any other download link?

Thanks,

Tom

I gives me no errors, although that version has too many bugs, and I'll upload the version with fixes tomorrow.

Here it is...although, since I'm not at my home computer I can't add the license files. I will though, as soon as I get home.
