Quotes of the week
In my teenage years, having Eclipse as a completely free top notch IDE was instrumental in me learning to program. It meant a poor student could use the exact same tools as a professional. That era is now over.

If your database can't print its own source code, can you really trust it?

puts into words what few have ever pondered.
The BSD license basically says, keep the
license in place, and do what you want with the code, but you seem to have taken
that to mean you can give us whatever bits you want, and hold back others.
While you are certainly within your rights to do that, the spirit of the DPDK,
and all open source projects is to provide an environment that allows developers
to expand the project in whatever way they see fit. By providing a driver that
is useless without agreement to your additional license terms, you hamper
developers in that goal, because now they have to be very careful about how they
use, and more importantly, contribute back, new code.
