who could tell me more about the licensing ?[/b]

uclinux is open source (gpl). this means that, at the very least, you will need to include a written offer to your clients that they can get the source code of your modifications for the cost of shipping and handling.

the people in uclinux.org say that microtronix board haven't a ported version from them, just from here.
so, is this uclinux version open source ?

i do not fully understand what you are saying here, but i would assume that uclinux.org does not want to support the work of microtronix. this might just be that the authors of uclinux.org feel more comfortable with their own ports or because they do not get the modifications in a easy to read form of the nios ii port (unified diff). considering the download, i would assume the latter (i spent quite some time in creating clean patches instead of the source code mess in the zip file).
