Just by the way, have a look at the thread about lwip and ppp on
ecos-maintainers in the archive from 15th april:
http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-maintainers
I forgot in the recent mail I sent that ppp requires special treatment.
I read those posts back then and now again. What I understand is that ppp
too can go in ecos but it would have been better if it did not have the adv
clause.
Hmmm, I've just had a look myself at
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/lwip/lwip/src/netif/ppp/ I can't
see any file with an advertising clause. Andrew, what files were you
thinking of when you said about the advertising clause before?
Although I am still not usre which files can/should have the GPL header
and which cannot.
This may be a non-issue if there is no advertising clause. If there is an
advertising clause, then the whole lwip package should _not_ be GPL'd. The
GPL is incompatible with the advertising clause.
