While I don't mind dual-licensing per se, I really dislike the
associated _technical_ crap that comes along with it, namely
* cross-OS compatibility wrappers
* attempts to pretend that locking is _remotely_ similar between BSD and
Linux net stacks
* use of non-Linux coding styles and memes
* over-engineering and over-abstraction
Linus Credo #788 is "do what you must, and no more."
If Vladimir is working from DaveM's code template, then he is working at
the lowest, most native _Linux kernel_ levels to interface with the net
stack.
I'm all for code sharing -- but I'm all for rationality too. There will
_inevitably_ be _fundamental_ differences between BSD and Linux net
stacks, and to attempt to code for both OS's will be nasty and time
consuming, IMHO.
