Title: RE: [ECOS] TCP/IP and RTEMS

Jim -

JB- Is RTEMS is shipped with the unmodified GPL, or do
JB- they add the "special exception" in the text of the
JB- license they ship? I'd like a legal opinion on
JB- whether linking with RTEMS puts my code under GPL,
JB- because of the way the RTEMS license is written.

I can't give you legal advice or interpretations. You may wish to download RTEMS sources and check their license wording first-hand. My non-expert understanding is that both groups are attempting to achieve much the same thing. You may also wish to ask Dr. Sherrill of OAR Corp. [mailto:joel.sherrill@OARcorp.com], and naturally to seek legal advice as to the nuances of each license.
