While reviewing backporting this patch for scarthgap, I've look at the licences of dropbear: The "'public-domain' file headered as MIT" is (I think): https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/blob/DROPBEAR_2026.91/src/curve25519.c (indeed MIT header) But: * vendored libtommcrypt is "PD OR WTFPL" https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/blob/DROPBEAR_2026.91/libtomcrypt/LICENSE * vendored libtommath is "Unlicense" https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/blob/DROPBEAR_2026.91/libtommath/LICENSE ... is that OK that those don't appear in LICENSE? If yes, then the argument is still valid for scarthgap and I'll will backport. Regards, > > DEPENDS = "zlib virtual/crypt" -- Yoann Congal Smile ECS
