Dear,


I am struggling with the newlib license since i saw GPL license in git repo.


It declares that newlib subdirectory is non-GPL related, however, there are GPL code in newlib root directory,&nbsp;


1) can we confirm that newlib subdirectory is not infected?&nbsp; which gnu official statement can certify it?&nbsp;


2) if I only build baremetal metal newlib, is GPL code used? Can i say newlib I build is non GPL related?


Thank a lot.


Best Regards,
Douwa
