Hi Peter
Unfortunately, this is GPL code. So we cannot incorporate it into the
eCos repository. The GPL license would spread from this code into the
rest of eCos and then into the application, so requiring that people
who develop applications using this code would have to make there
application sources available under the terms of the GPL. Most people
don't want to do this, they have the intellectual property of there
product in those sources.
