Are you talking about the EEPROM driver? I don't see anything in the stm
directories. But all STM file at some point include stm32xxxx.h which
includes finaly the STM provided basic header. And these come with this
"Liberty" license. And something that needs so many lawyers words has few to
do with liberty. Harald decided to interprete the licence as non-BSD. And as
long as there are no BSD licences similar wordings, I think he is right.

Again, the basic headers.

But there is also a lot of cruft in /nut/arch/cm3/dev/stm. I will try to
cleanup.
