Hia,

I recently ported batman-adv to FreeBSD as my GSoC project:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2023Projects/CallingTheBatmanFreeNetwor...

I'd like to bring this work into the FreeBSD source tree, but they are reluctant to bring in any new GPL code. Would it be possible to dual-license batman-adv to GPL/BSD, or would you rather not (in which case I'll ask FreeBSD's core@ if an exception could be made for batman-adv)?

Thanks! Aymeric
