I assume several people on this mailing list are in fact producing
embedded systems containing lwip code. How do you comply with the
license without confusing your customers?
    
        
That's what smallprint is for. Direct customers' attention to what matters,
and put the items they need to be informed about but aren't as equally
important in the smallprint.

So the solution is to use smallprint so that the customer does not read
the confusing text. :-)
    

Well, so they know that it probably isn't important for them to read for
day-to-day use certainly :-) - but is there should they ever be interested
in knowing (and there for proper acknowledgement).

Have you ever read the Microsoft EULAs in their entirety? Somewhere in
there are BSD licensed code too. :-)

Yes, I know. There is supposed to be some BSD code in some of the command line tools.
There is however no BSD license text in the Microsoft EULA. They have just hidden the BSD text in some obscure file somewhere.
