For the technical sake of conformance to the conditions in the relevant licenses, I believe it's sufficient to include somewhere with the distributed binary (not necessarily in the binary itself; an accompanying text file is perfectly reasonable) a statement with the copyright and permission notice. Of course if you find musl useful and would like to help promote it, other things like putting a notice and link on the website, etc. would be great. (As an aside, perhaps we should prepare some "powered by musl" etc. "button" graphics that websites can display.) > Also, is there a #define that lets me identify that this is a musl-libc > build and include the respective attribution(s) accordingly. No, this is actually an FAQ topic. :-) http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_why_is_there_no_MUSL_macro_.3F Rich
