Is this approach approved or we should completely remove the GPL code from
NuttX?
My understanding is that there can be no GPL code in any way in the
Apache project repository.
In the case of the CANFD code, it has a dual license, GPL or BSD-3. I
don't recall all of the details but, as a podling at the time, we
discussed this pretty thoroughly with our mentors and the inclusion of
the dual licensed third party code was found acceptable. Justin McClean
was involved in this discussion. I briefly looked for the e-mail thread
that addressed this, but I could not find it so my recollection might be
faulty,.
Any pure GPL should be removed in my opinion.
