GPL code cannot be integrated in the eCos CVS. The GPL license for
uDHCP would mean that all of eCos had to be distributed as GPL. This
would also mean that all of the application would also have to be
GPL. We don't want this, since people use eCos for writing commercial
applications. 

eCos uses a modified GPL license. The modification stops the GPL
spreading from the licensed file to other files. So this allows people
to do commercial applications with eCos.

You should make it clear to anybody you distribute your epk to that
its GPL and not the modified GPL used by the rest of eCos.
