IANAL either. I note that we _do_ have a precedent for including benchmark code with no stated copyright and licensing terms. Namely, the dhrystone test: http://ecos.sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ecos/packages/kernel/current/tests/dhrystone.c?rev=1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=ecos In my opinion, including a whetstone test adapted from the original whets.c code from http://www.roylongbottom.org.uk/whets.c would be acceptable (avoiding other versions with company copyright notices). Do any of the other maintainers have an opinion on this? I would be inclined to place the test alongside the dhrystone test in the kernel package with similar pre-processor tests for correct configuration of eCos, similar implementation of dtime() and similar use of __ECOS__ to annotate eCos-specific changes. I would also suggest #ifdefs allowing the test to build both with and without libm since only two of the test sections (N5, N8) appear to require libm. John Dallaway eCos maintainer
