Hmmm, I've just had a look myself at 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/lwip/lwip/src/netif/ppp/ I can't 
see any file with an advertising clause. Andrew, what files were you 
thinking of when you said about the advertising clause before?

This may be a non-issue if there is no advertising clause. If there is an 
advertising clause, then the whole lwip package should _not_ be GPL'd. The 
GPL is incompatible with the advertising clause.

Duh, I was just going to reply to a different (off-list) mail from Jani and 
have just seen the advertising clause further down the file (some of them 
have three copyright headers!). So ignore me, and I'll discuss with Jani 
off-list.

this is in ppp/vj.c
But I'm not sure that it's the advertising clause or not.

also in ppp/auth there's similar text for CMU and ANU

BTW I think Andrew is on vacation for 3 weeks so might be offline.
