    I have do decide for an TCP/IP stack on a LPC4333 CPU, one of the possibility is to use Your Stack, but unfortunately there is no Port available for the LPC43xx (the LPC1788 has a different Ethernet controller, and the port is under GPL3 while the last version of FNET is under Apache V2!). Do You have any plans to make a Port for other LPC Cpu's (now that NXP has acquired Freescale)?

    Hi Martin,

    There is no problem with the license. Apache 2 is fully compatible with GPLv3.
    "The Apache Software Foundation and the Free Software Foundation agree that the Apache License 2.0 is a free software license, compatible with version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GPL),[7] meaning that code under GPL version 3 and Apache License 2.0 can be combined, as long as the resulting software is licensed under the GPL version 3.[8]"

    >>(now that NXP has acquired Freescale)?
    And what? Not Freescale nor NXP does not support FNET, so far.
    It is just free initiative (at least last four years).

    Best regards,
    Andrey
