Hmmm, I've just had a look myself at 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/lwip/lwip/src/netif/ppp/ I can't 
see any file with an advertising clause. Andrew, what files were you 
thinking of when you said about the advertising clause before?

This may be a non-issue if there is no advertising clause. If there is an 
advertising clause, then the whole lwip package should _not_ be GPL'd. The 
GPL is incompatible with the advertising clause.
