Re: [DISCUSS] Remove Windows Native support?

2020-01-17 Thread Gregory Nutt
Hello, all, I spent that last two days working on the Windows Native build (just a few hours a day) and I want to report that the Native windows build is now mostly functional.  I can build NuttX directly in a Windows CMD.exe shell! As a proof of concept, this says that the Native build is n

Yep, The PR I referenced was cleaning up the spdx headers in that userspace project so that it was clear how files are licensed. The stuff that originated from VW is still dual, but a lot of the stuff added later is only GPL. The good news is most of the core utils fall into the dual licensed bit

Hi, Looking through teh files in that repro I not some are GPL only. e.g [1] but files that are dual licensed are fine e.g [2] NuttX releases would not be able to include or depend on those files. Thanks, Justin 1. https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils/blob/master/slcand.c 2. https://github.c

HI, A couple of points: - The GPL license is not compatible with the Apache License and its ASF policy not to include GPL code in our source releases [1][2] - If things are dual licensed (which means all code is License A or license B rather than a mixture of license A and licenseB) when you ca

2020-01-17 Thread Nathan Hartman
Hi all, NuttX's Downloads page (http://nuttx.apache.org/download/) needs a slight change: We need to make it clear that the NuttX-8.2 release artifacts pre-date NuttX becoming an Apache.org Podling; in other words, those are NOT Apache releases. When 8.3 is released, that message should be remov

Not legal advice, but this should be fairly clear because they did the leg work of doing the spdx headers (which we should keep if we bring this in). We can treat the code either the GPLv2 or the BSD-3 license, this actually came up recently because the licensing around can-utils was being clar

My approach has always been to go direct to the copyright holder and get it in writing that you can use the code under a license which is compatible with yours. It makes things a lot simpler down the line, even if it's usually a massive hassle up front. Rob On Fri, 17 Jan 2020, 14:44 Gregory Nutt

I have been having an offline discussion with a business that is interested in bringing VW's SocketCAN into NuttX.  But I am puzzled by how the licensing fits with Apache. Let me just quote: /I’m no legal expert but Volkswagen research dual licensed SocketCAN as Dual BSD/GPL as shown in
