Hi
Has anyone considered asking Bekhoff for their view on this issue?
They might grant a GPL compatible license for LinuxCNC.

I have always been confused by this too.
The worry is that if we distribute anything EtherCAT with LinuxCNC then we
obligate anyone who uses it to also seek a Bekhoff license. So that would make
our distribution not-GPL
I think that the Free Software Foundation has lawyers, but can’t recall if we
asked them about this.
Then you get into the murky shadows that allow Wine to exist.
