> Is the original code from Realtek available publicly under Apache or other compatible license? Is so, could you give us the link to it? Case it is just internal code inside Realtek company, then I think the SGA is needed, because we cannot prove that original code license was compatible with Apache license. If Realtek owns of code and legitimately holds the copyright, then they may change the license as they see fit. Right? If that condition is true that I cannot imagine what the issue with licensing could possibly be. With regard to the SGA, my understanding is that this depends on a subjective understanding of the scope of the change. Is that right? This is beyond my ability to suggest anything credible. SGAs are problematic for some businesses (or at the very least, time consuming). I suppose that you could argue either way that architecture support is broad or narrow scope. I would end to go with narrow scope since it does not reflect any core technology that is critical to the integrity of the OS; it simply extends existing support to the Realtek products. If the Realtek support will continue to develop over time, like ESP32 and Spresense, then we would need an SGA. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
