I'm prone to suggest putting a LICENSE.STM-3-Clause at the top of the RTEMS tree and adding a comment in ifdef __rtems__ at the top of each file saying the LICENSE file is there. This impacts other imports from STM so I am curious what Karel, Sebastian, and Andrei are seeing for the license in the code they are importing and what they plan to do. I don't think we can have a generically named file "LICENSE" way down in the tree. We have the pattern of having licenses at the top of the RTEMS source tree. --joel > > Best, > > Duc Doan > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list > devel@rtems.org > http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
