Hello,
This might be a silly question, but what is the difference between the
ecos license (GPL with a special exception) and the LGPL?
It's similar in principle. But binary forms of eCos code are not always
delivered as a "library". Take RedBoot for example.
Then there's ambiguity about the legal status of inline code and macros,
which eCos uses extensively.
Altogether that leads to the current license wording.
