Hi I know we are all struggling to get a release out but I just noticed that the discussion of licensing for code/docs in RTEMS is a bit of a mess right now. I am close to filing this as a blocker ticket due to its importance.
SW Engineering Guide sections 6.3.1.2 (Licenses) and 11 (Licensing Requirements) are somewhat overlapping and duplicative. In addition, Gedare's old blog http://gedare-csphd.blogspot.com/2013/05/software-licenses-with-rtems.html is still a decent discussion of the underlying issues and goals even though we have moved to BSD-2 and Creative Commons for documentation since he wrote that in 2013. I **THINK** a good solution would be to reference the Chapter 11 Licensing Requirements from the Coding Conventions chapter. And incorporate an updated version of Gedare's blog text. I still don't think that either shows folks what to actually put in their code. Hint: Gedare... I think you would be in the best position to merge the 2 sections with an updated version of your blog. :) Comments? --joel
