Hi,

    I tried the radvd daemon in yocto.
But before I could continue further I came across the license info of
Radvd. I am allowed only to use packages which has GPL v2 license
unfortunately radvd has BSD license.(it is a constraint from our higher
development team).

Is there any other way I can move forward.?. I searched for any alternative
for radvd but could not find it

I am stuck here. Any further suggestion would be appreciated

Regards,

Anjali
