Well, to be a little more specific, the concern I've heard on many occasion= s is that 6WIND control the infrastructure for the project and so effective= ly have a veto over what's accepted into DPDK. Your argument is that you've= never exercised that veto, which is true, but you still have the ability t= o do so. That's not a characteristic of a truly open project. As stated in = the original post on this: > - The infrastructure for a project like DPDK should not be owned and cont= rolled by any single company.
