Sharing Dual-Licensed Drivers between Linux and FreeBSD
From https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/s...x-and-freebsd/
Quote:
As a silicon vendor, allowing device driver source code to be shared between Linux, FreeBSD, and other operating systems brings several benefits, including a potentially increased market, and additional collaboration effort resulting in increased test coverage and bug fixes.
Linux and FreeBSD are both Open Source UNIX-like operating systems. Both have a long development history and are maintained by sizable development teams consisting of professional, volunteer, academic and hobbyist contributors. Both are capable of high performance in demanding production applications.
However, one area where they differ is in the license: Linux is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) while FreeBSD uses the permissive Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license.
