Re: [chrony-users] PPS GPIO polling driver license

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More chrony.tuxfamily.org/chrony-users Archives ]


Bill, the following file is a PPS driver distributed with the Linux kernel:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/pps/pps.c

It is also released under a GPL 2.0 license:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later

However, being distributed with the Linux kernel, the source code falls under the "Linux with syscall exception" clause, despite the source code comments only referring to GPL 2.

Does anyone know how to contact Gabriel Ricalde to see if re-licensing is permissible?

Thank you!
