11:13 <karlp> borneoa___: in 36597636f2a you added GPL tags on files that didn't have it. This includes contrib/rtos-helpers/FreeRTOS-openocd.c ?

11:13 <karlp> is that really intended?

11:13 <karlp> "add this to your prject" has rather major impliciations now...

11:14 <karlp> I would expect that file to be either public domain, or MIT at most....

11:22 <borneoa___> karlp: I think you are right. These files are not intended to be part of OpenOCD, but part of user projects.

11:23 <karlp> indeed...

11:27 <karlp> is that something you can "just take care of" or does this gerrit PRs or what? any discussion of what they should be?

11:31 <karlp> kinda want to look at making that uxTopUsedPriority not be required honestly. it's back in upstream from 10.4.2 anyway, but I'm not really convinced we should need it at all.

11:31 <karlp> another day perhaps though...

11:39 <PaulFertser> Apparently I'm the originial author of https://review.openocd.org/c/openocd/+/2347/1/contrib/rtos-helpers/FreeRTOS-openocd.c . Sorry for not clarifying it properly in the file itself, I am OK with it being CC0/Public Domain. I didn't really think about it as code.

11:40 <karlp> yeah, I don't reallllly feel bad just "taking it" either, there's literally no other implementation possible, but... it's nice to do it right :)

11:40 <karlp> I'm having more trouble convincing cmake to not garbage collect the damn symbol right now...

11:41 <karlp> should probably update freertos instead... ;)

11:42 <PaulFertser> The idea was that ld wouldn't garbage-collect it if --undefined=uxTopUsedPriority is specified

12:19 <karlp> yeah, I'm just not holding this stack of make/cmake by the correct sharp corner yet :)

12:49 <borneoa___> Would this spdx https://spdx.org/licenses/Unlicense.html ?

12:49 <borneoa___> work for you?

12:53 <karlp> works for me at least :)

12:56 <borneoa___> MIT requires reporting the original copyright and permission notice... Why bothering the user so much when we don't want to keep control of this code! Same for BSD

12:56 <PaulFertser> Yeah, that's why I mentioned CC0

13:00 <borneoa___> PaulFertser: I'm reading it... very long....

13:08 <PaulFertser> borneoa___: well, whatever works to put the work into public domain. I guess unlicense is as good.

13:09 <PaulFertser> I mean I said this file should be in the public domain specifically because MIT would require mentioning author names and it'd be a silly needless requirement.

13:20 <karlp> I only mentioned MIT as a "at most" idea, not something I actually wanted :) MIT would have sitll been substantially better than GPL2 :)

13:31 <matsievskiysv> Hello! I work on MIPS32 target and found an error in SRL opcode. After some investigation I found out that this bug is fixed in patch https://review.openocd.org/c/openocd/+/3613 , however, this tiny patch (+6-2) is pending since 2016. It is trivial and could be easily verified just by glancing at

13:31 <matsievskiysv> https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/downloads-mips/documents/MD00086-2B-MIPS32BIS-AFP-05.04.pdf#page=282 . How can I reach out someone with merge access to pull this patch?

13:40 <borneoa___> matsievskiysv: there are few patches around MIPS under discussion recently, e.g. 7905. Maybe asking Oleksij and Walter to review 3613 too?

13:50 <matsievskiysv> Thanks for the pointer! Added them to reviewers list.

13:52 <borneoa___> PaulFertser: CC0 looks ok. The only concern I have is that someone could feel scared in front of such long text and don't use that code. The text in Unlicense is much easier to read, but probably not as effective from legal pow.

13:54 <borneoa___> matsievskiysv: feel free to ping us again, if you don't see any progress
