I have always been confused by this too. 

The worry is that if we distribute anything EtherCAT with LinuxCNC then we 
obligate anyone who uses it to also seek a Bekhoff license. So that would make 
our distribution not-GPL

I think that the Free Software Foundation has lawyers, but can’t recall if we 
asked them about this. 

Then you get into the murky shadows that allow Wine to exist.
