Hello List,
My name is Walfred Tedeschi, I am a Software Application Engineer working
for Intel and enabling customers on Time Sensitive Networking.
One of our next steps involves improving Chrony on the PTP side, however
many customers, with proprietary code would like to make use of the chronyc
interface (header file) to be able to communicate with the chronyd.
License of the interface as GPL v2 creates an obstacle for customers to use
it, while this would be the easiest approach for the customers in general
to start using the chronyd interface.
>From the mailing list I have observed several threads mentioning the
license of the header file.
Our question mainly would be:
Would it be possible to change the license of the specific
interface of the chronyc so as to allow a broader usage of it and avoid
reinventing the code differently in other libraries and languages?
Specifically the file meant is candm.h which makes the interface with
chonyd.
Thanks a lot for the attention and best regards,
Fred
