Copy link

Hello, I am interested in your project and found that you copied some parts from polarssl, copied some abandoned libev version. Why? You can link with polarssl and libev if you like.

For now your project can't have MIT license, because copied code from polarssl and libev licenses are not compatible with MIT when they are placed together in same repo.

PolarSSL is GPLv2 with FOSS exception or Commercial Licensing. MIT satisfies the FOSS exception. See FOSS exception at https://web.archive.org/web/20130812182529/https://polarssl.org/foss-license-exception

libev's license is BSD-like I don't see incompatiblity. See libev license at https://github.com/wangyu-/udp2raw/blob/unified/libev/LICENSE

If you like linking instead of embeding, you can. My license allows you to do that (make change of my code).
