The idea of having it into a a build were > gplv3 are allowed,was support for TLS/IA which was designed to be used > in the EAP-TTLSv1 > https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/poky/2011-December/007386.html Well, right. But the point I was making in my previous email http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-January/015375.html is that nobody seems to be using TLS/IA, the code in wpa-supplicant was apparently never all that well tested, and support for it has been removed entirely in the latest versions of all the relevant software (and hence, barring heroic efforts, we will lose it anyway next time wpa-supplicant is upgraded). So, unless you know of anybody who actually has a requirement for that protocol today, I would be inclined to just turn it off unconditionally rather than adding some mechanism to turn it on and off based on INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE. p.
