Excuse of jumping late into discussion. I have not noticed this thread
and I am not sure about t outcome. I tried to be clean in the offlist
discussion but I am not sure still for some nithes details from NuttX
side.
Our code is GPL licensed now but all copyright holders agree
on providing it under license fully compatible with NuttX and RTEMS
mainlines.
I have offered and discussed the license
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later OR BSD-2-Clause OR Apache-2.0
with keeping of the list of the authors and reference to the Czech Technical
University at start of files.
If the whole list of the licenses is kept, then it allows mutual enhancements
between driver code forks for individual systems. As I describe elsewhere,
I understand and agree that driver should be readable and with minimum
adaptation/compatibility layers for each kernel even that it means additional
effort on our side.
The question to the NuttX stewards is wheather
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later OR BSD-2-Clause OR Apache-2.0
line/license s acceptable for manline.
If not, then we leave Apache-2.0 alone and try to track permission of other
outside (non-CTU) contributors to reuse their possible code enhancements
under other two licenses.
Best wishes,
Pavel
