FAT Long File Names
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If CONFIG_FAT_LFN is defined in your NuttX configuration file, then
|
|
there may be some legal, patent issues. The following was extracted from
|
|
the entry "File Allocation Table from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
|
|
|
|
"On December 3, 2003 Microsoft announced it would be offering licenses
|
|
for use of its FAT specification and 'associated intellectual property',
|
|
at the cost of a US$0.25 royalty per unit sold, with a $250,000 maximum
|
|
royalty per license agreement.
|
|
|
|
o "U.S. Patent 5,745,902 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5745902) -
|
|
Method and system for accessing a file using file names having
|
|
different file name formats. ...
|
|
o "U.S. Patent 5,579,517 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5579517) -
|
|
Common name space for long and short filenames. ...
|
|
o "U.S. Patent 5,758,352 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5758352) -
|
|
Common name space for long and short filenames. ...
|
|
o "U.S. Patent 6,286,013 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=6286013) -
|
|
Method and system for providing a common name space for long and
|
|
short file names in an operating system. ...
|
|
|
|
"Many technical commentators have concluded that these patents only cover
|
|
FAT implementations that include support for long filenames, and that
|
|
removable solid state media and consumer devices only using short names
|
|
would be unaffected. ..."
|
|
|
|
This Wikipedia entry has been updated with recent legal decisions in favor
|
|
of Microsoft. Refer to:
|
|
|
|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#Legal_issues
|
|
|
|
So you have been forewarned: Use the long filename at your own risk!

uIP

|

Many lower-level networking components of NuttX derive from uIP which

has a similar BSD style license:

The University of Michigan uses a modified BSD license equivalent to

If you enable floating point conversions with CONFIG_LIBC_FLOATINGPOINT,
|
|
then some files with an unmodified BSD license will be included. That
|
|
license is similar to the above (modified) BSD license, but has an
|
|
additional requirement that I state the following:

"This product includes software developed by the University of

libc/string/lib_vikmemcpy.c
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If you enable CONFIG_MEMCPY_VIK, then you will build with the optimized
|
|
version of memcpy from Daniel Vik. Licensing information for that version
|
|
of memcpy() follows:

libc/math

^^^^^^^^^
|
|

If you enable CONFIG_LIB, you will build the math library at libc/math.

This library was taken from the math library developed for the Rhombus

OS by Nick Johnson (https://github.com/nickbjohnson4224/rhombus). This

port was contributed by Darcy Gong. The Rhombus math library has this

WARNING: Some of the information in the data tables in this file came
|
|
from other projects with conflicting licenses: Linux and ArduCAM. Those
|
|
both have GPL licenses. I am not sure if it is proper or not to lift the
|
|
content of those tables and still retain this BSD license. I am guessing
|
|
so, but I am not a copyright attorney so you should use this driver in
|
|
products at your own risk.
