That's not specific at all, which is why I asked for specific details.

What are their concrete concerns with using BSD for hardware source code?

How and why would the BSD license be a problem for Diamond Key or anyone else?

In which jurisdiction? Because of what law or precedent? Etc.

"lawyers informally suggested" is roughly equal to "I found a note on
the street saying".

I think you have to explain that for your issue to be taken seriously.


Thanks!
