Arguably, with eCos it would be more analogous to including GPL'd source in to your application. Besides for some people that is at least part of the definition of an embedded system: it isn't general purpose, it is designed for a special application. So you don't have separate programs on a general purpose machine.On Mon, 2002-09-30 at 21:23, Jonathan Larmour wrote:We did choose the licence knowing full well that it would cause problems integrating GPLd code into the codebase, but at least *users* can use GPLd code.
Still bad. Users can write proprietary applications on Linux, whilst
they can't do that on eCos if it has only one fully GPL-ed module
included.
Now I can't figure out what to do with DoC support for eCos, since noI know :-(. Perhaps for now, can you assemble a webpage or something about it all with downloads, and I'll link to it from the eCos contributions page?
other high quality open source code except Linux MTD seems to be
available. It means rewriting the code from scratch.
