[lwip-members] lwip in ecos

[Jani Monoses]

Hello all

there has been discussion on including lwip in ecos as an alternative
to the two other tcp stacks in there (openbsd and freebsd based respectively)
The ecos maintainers are ok with this their most important issue is to
avoid any kind of licensing problems. I am almost sure this is all fine I just 
want
to get feedback in case I missed something.

ecos is licensed under GPL + exception (meaning it can be linked to closed apps)
the other bsd stacks are a mixture of BSD w/ and w/o advertising much like lwip 
is.
This makes it look like as long as the copyright headers are kept intact in the 
sources
all is fine. (ecos sources add their own license header to the source files)
I know we have been keeping Copyright SICS notices even though there's no 
formal assignment
to sics on behalf of the lwip developers. Also there are several people's 
Copyright notes
in there (Leon, Marc Boucher and original ppp developers)

So does anybody see a reason why lwip or parts of it might not be included and 
distributed with ecos?

thanks
Jani
