Hello Everyone,
First of all I would like to say hello since this is my first e-mail to this
mailing list.
I would like to ask a question regarding code licensing and importing code that
uses different license than BSD-like. Especially I'm curious about the code
that goes with OpenSSL/SSLeay license. Is it allowed to import such sources
(or derived work) to DPDK? I've seen some GPL stuff, mostly kernel modules from
Intel. So what with the above mentioned OpenSSL?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Kind regards
Zbigniew

The modules are that way to be compatible with the kernel. The rest is BSD.
See: http://dpdk.org/dev on Licenses.

It is not my call to make, but my guess is the answer will almost
certainly be "No". DPDK makes it way into commercial products, and the
companies concerned (well, their lawyers actually..) most likley won't
like the prospect of extra licencing conditions slipping in.
