Not GPL but LGPL (Lesser GPL) version 2.1 [1] not version 3.0. The edk2 project will not have to switch to GPL or LGPL. Just a subset of the code will be LGPL v2.1. I know it can be a problem. That is why I ask first. I see you work at Apple. Note that Apple already provides my LGPL v2.1 CCID driver on Mac OS X in /usr/libexec/SmartCardServices/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle :-) Bye [1] https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/edk2-devel
