Already have a simple implementation of an Ethercat driver with hardcoded configuration but read something about the license problem and have kept it for myself.
If you developed this yourself without being under an NDA or some contract with Beckhoff aren't you free to distribute this under any license that you choose?
You don't have to use their term for the driver if it is trademarked. Call it something else such as FreeCAT.
The FSF has lots of resources available. Run the Beckhoff license past them for an opinion on conflicts with GPL.
Are there any patents involved in a Linux driver for EtherCAT? _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
