I had heard that the attempt to get linux-ocf (Open Cryptographic Framework, originally on FreeBSD but then ported to Linux) had been rejected. For a lot of projects in the embedded space with low-power, low clockrate devices software encryption isn't fast enough for wirespeed, so using ASICs or specialized on-chip engines (in SoC architectures) is the way to go... And OCF provides the easiest way to use this. We use AMD/NS Geode and Via C7 processors with AES accelerators with great success, but waiting until the OCF code gets bumped holds us back from running the latest kernels... Is this a Copyright vs. Copyleft (GPL) issue, or is there more to it than that? Anyone know the backstory?
