Hi all I am porting mbedtls (former PolarSSL) Ref: https://tls.mbed.org/ security stack to eCos. It is now licensed under Apache 2.0 that allows linking with proprietary code. I would like to put patches on Bugzilla for review and discussion but I'm little bit worried about regulations regarding encryption products. How do I proceed? Ilija

Unfortunately Apache 2.0 is not compatible with the GPLv2 we use: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#apache2 If you can overcome that somehow, then on the encryption side, first you must check the encryption export laws of your own country. Then the encryption export laws for the server hosting the patches, in this case the UK. I haven't found any good information to indicate whether it definitely does or definitely does not have any export control, sorry. Jifl

Afaik Macedonia has no export control. Anyway I'll check with our forwarding agent. > Then the encryption > export laws for the server hosting the patches, in this case the UK.
