Can you guide me (or someone else surfacing) towards what would be
required to have LinuxCNC readily compatible with that external
EtherCAT package on Debian?
Personally I know nothing about EtherCAT. I have always been a little
afraid of the licensing complexities mentioned here:
https://etherlab.org/en/ethercat/
Etherlab itself is GPLv2, but _using_ it seems to bring a different
licensing restriction into play. And I don't know enough about
licensing to know if that's a problem.
I followed this link, and couldn't find an obvious link to the licensing
docs. Am I going blind? Or are they acting like a submarine, ala the
compuserve debacle from about 25 years back?
It is in the "Notice" section below that copyright thingy:
The license above concerns the source code only. Using the EtherCAT
technology and brand is only permitted in compliance with the industrial
property and similar rights ofBeckhoff Automation GmbH

Best,
