This is probably the most contentious issue (given say current SCO stoopidty). Have you talked to the original author on this? I think granting you written consent to move to GPL may be sufficient.
I talked to the original authors and they removed the advertising clause (http://orange.kame.net/dev/cvsweb.cgi/kame/kame/sys/altq/altq_hfsc.c), but they didn't want to release the code under the GPL. Various posts on linux-kernel indicate that combining GPL code with BSD code without advertising clause makes the end-product automatically be subject to the GPL, even without consent of the authors. I basically meant to ask if this is true.
cheers, jamal
PS:- i will look at the code and give you some feedback.
I'm looking forward to it.
Best regards, Patrick
