Hi,

> Could it be related somehow to ZigBee lincense ? (http://www.zigbee.org/)
> Moreover, I saw in a lecture:

Maybe you can get some more information about this issue from this
article:
http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Zigbee/Zigbee-Linux-and-the-GPL.html
The author had started developing an OpenSource ZigBee Stack and was
Member of the ZA. If you dig somewhat deeper in his blog (I don't have
the exact url at hand), you will find an article where he describes that
he tried to start an discussion about removing the problematic part from
the ZigBee License, but failed with this approach. After this he stopped
the development of the stack and quit his ZA membership.

If the information of this article holds, the ZigBee License is
incompatible with the Linux Kernel.

Sascha.
