Tools to Detect License Infringement in Code for Zephyr I2C Driver Based on Linux Kernel
Hello Guys,
This is related to a PR i am about to raise
It is a native I2C driver to zephyr
I had taken the inspiration of the code from the linux kernel
And as zephyr and lk have incompatible licenses
i was wondering if there are software to help detect possible infridgement so i could change those parts

However, if you have only 'taken inspiration' from the Linux Kernel and are not just copying and pasting code (as in you wrote the code), then you may not have a violation in the first place.
Note: I am being deliberately vague with my wording, as IANAL and so do not want to give any legal advice!
It's Okay
I understand
Thanks for the abvove too!
