Re: ecos licensing

Hello,

This might be a silly question, but what is the difference between the
ecos license (GPL with a special exception) and the LGPL?

It's similar in principle. But binary forms of eCos code are not always delivered as a "library". Take RedBoot for example.


Then there's ambiguity about the legal status of inline code and macros, which eCos uses extensively.

Altogether that leads to the current license wording.
