Hi, I'm considering a project to create a source code compatibility layer that would allow BSD USB Wifi drivers to be used in NuttX. This would involve adding BSD-licensed code to the NuttX project.
This page on the Apache website seems to say that this would be allowed. Is this correct?
Justin,
Could we do the the same thing also the code that has been lingering on the SocketCAN branch (so long that it is embarrassing). It is all BSD (and dual license) and we have verbal support and encouragements from all of the authors and copyright holders to bring this code into the NuttX master.
Is there some reason is must continue to wait? And, if so, what
are we waiting to happen? Is there anyway that we can get this
code moving again?
Greg

I have been discussing the merge with Peter off line. I think he plans to submit another PR instead of using the branch. I am not sure yet but I hope that does not make things more complex.
There will also be a PR against inclubator-nuttx-apps that beings
in some SocketCAN tools. There are specially wrapped for use by
NuttX but have the same dual licensed VW code within the
wrapping.

- There may also be a demo example later based on more dual license code from: https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils TBD
