Now a licensing question

[Phillip Neiswanger <pneiswan evolving com>]

Guess I should have asked this question first.

The product I work on runs only on an HP box at this time.  Portions of it,
but not all, will soon run on a Linux box.  The files that are destine for
the Linux box, of which none are executable, are first installed on the HP
box.  They are then tar'd up and originally the idea was to have the user
untar then and run some install scripts.  My idea was to place the tar and
the scripts in a rpm and install on the Linux box using rpm. Because the
final set of files destine for the Linux box is not really known until the
install on the HP is performed it will be necessary to build the rpm during
the HP installation.  To do this we will need to distribute an HP version of
rpm.  Is this legal under the GNU license?  How 'bout the BerkleyDB license?
