Although MIT license is similar to BSD license, it is not the same.
The DPDK project has converged to only use BSD-3 for all DPDK code (and GPL for
kernel code).
Please find an alternative that is BSD licensed.
We discussed in the Windows Community call regarding the challenges we
are facing to find and include
BSD-3 implementation of getopt and dirent files.
Please let us know if there can be any exceptions to include MIT license
code for Windows
as mentionedin dpdk.org charter under 6.3 section.
