Dario, All,

On 2023-04-22 15:36 +0200, Dario Binacchi spake thusly:
> As noted by Yann E. MORIN in [1] only the src/flash/nand/ecc.c file
> refers to the eCos license.
> 
> The SPDX identifier for that file is:
> SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later WITH eCos-exception-2.0
> 
> The file is part of the openocd executable via libopenocd.la, which being
> a static library it is not installed.
> 
> Based on this, becomes more natural to associate the eCos exception with
> the GPL 2.0+ license, rather than considering it separately as a license.
