Huch,

anything licensed under
(lm3)nut/include/arch/cm3/lm3/vendor/license.html
should never and probably will never go into Ethernut. It is in total
contrast to
(lm3)nut/include/arch/cm3/lm3/vendor/lm3s9b96.h
Does above license apply to another group of files? Does one hand at  TI
eventually not know what the other hands does?

Bye
