Personally, and I'm not a developer of lwIP, I'm pretty damn offended in
consideration of those who are by:

Royalty Free, TCP/IP Source Code
A so-called "Free TCP/IP Stack" is usually worth exactly what was paid for
it, and the cost of understanding and then supporting it for your embedded
development project is often far more than a royalty-free source code
license from InterNiche.

Wow. I can say one thing - I've had a lot more problems and a much larger
learning curve with the $6000 Freescale CodeWarrior. Sure, it's a larger
more complex program, but it defies "You get what you pay for" by a large
margin. I would say this is false advertising - we all get a *lot* more
than we paid - all costs considered - for lwIP.
Sorry to go off topic, but this struck a nerve. And so it's a good time to
thank everyone for a great job on lwIP - I know we all know this, but it
really is a very good implementation of TCP/IP and a well-written library of
code, especially in light of the goals it sets to achieve and does, and the
platforms it can (and will) work on.
Ditto - keep up the great work! And thank you!
