No, I mean that this ethercat driver should live in its own git repo and/or .tar.gz file not shipped from linuxcnc.org in source or binary form. This is technically possible (or if it isn't, we'd want to fix it), because we ship Makefile.modinc in our -dev package to ease building userspace and realtime HAL components outside of the linuxcnc source tree. That way whoever thinks that there is not a GPL conflict here can ship source (and binaries if they see fit) from their own website. But no, I was emphatically *not* suggesting to ship GPL-incompatible source via linuxcnc.org even if we take care not to ship the corresponding binaries.
