That was a weekend hack only. As far I call correctly the porting
process was straightforward, that GPL PolarSSL version had a few I/O
stubs to overwrite and I have got HTTPS connection on eCos synthetic
target. I had no further work with PolarSSL (and SSL for eCos) but,
IMHO, the project was very promising SSL project ... and IT IS as
thanking your e-mail I knew that PolarSSL team became to provide FOSS
License Exception
https://polarssl.org/foss-license-exception
IANAL, but it looks like that we would use GPL PolarSSL 2.0 with that
FOSS exception in eCos. If this so, you would register new eCos project
http://ecos.sourceware.org/contrib.html
open eCos Bugzilla entry (http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org) for the port
and I hope you will find more hands for porting process then. But before
to start I would get confirmation that PolarSSL FOSS License exception
does cover the eCos License exception.
