If you choose to place your contributions into the public domain then
that's very nice of you. I see peeklinux has the original
http://svn.peeklinux.com/trunk/peek-build/m23/L1/layer1/tpu_drivers/source1/tpudrv61.c
Locosto driver that you use in your source tree. Peeklinux is presumably
under the GPL. I guess to find your modifications, I'd have to get a
diff between tpudrv12.c and tpudrv61.c, meaning in the real world, it's
possible to use this in a GPL piece of software, so long as peeklinux's
copyright on their driver (GPL) is correct and all the modifications are
of origin, you.
But I am not a lawyer. The rest of your code might only be of any legal
use in Falconia.
