Shane, It helps a lot, I just have to read some more time in order to really understand those FAQ. Many thanks for your help. I will get back to the list as soon as i have read and understood all of this.

I develop a software where I do have a NDA part, how can I handle this? I have to link the code against : glibc (LGPL) libusb (LGPL) libnova (LGPL) if I refer to http://lists.gpl-violations.org/pipermail/tech/2007-November.txt.gz , I am allowed to hide the source code for the NDA piece of the code and publish the sources not relating to the NDA. What should I tell the community ? Can I still use the GPL licensing? How should I behave with the LGPL projects owners/maintainers
I think it would be useful to look at the GPL FAQ:
# Does the GPL allow me to distribute a copy under a nondisclosure agreement? http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowNDA
# Does the GPL allow me to distribute a modified or beta version under a nondisclosure agreement? http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowModNDA
# Does the GPL allow me to develop a modified version under a nondisclosure agreement? http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DevelopChangesUnderNDA
I hope this helps.
