That code still has the proprietary Synopsys license, so unless you work for a company that has bought the Synopsys DWC OTG controller IP, you will not be able to obtain authorization to release it or your modifications under the GPL. There is another version of that code floating around that has already been relicensed under the GPL. You can search the linux-usb mailing list to find it. -- paul (speaking for myself, not for Synopsys) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
