Hi
Regarding the CHERI adaptation of Hafnium, I think we'll need to understand the purpose, status and plans for this before we can consider the technical/legal aspects. Joakim – do you have that info?
Regards
Dan.

Hi Joakim,

If there is enough time, then I would like to discuss OP-TEE release work, questions like: Who will make the release? When should it be done? Where should it be tracked? Currently, the answer to all of those are more or less "Linaro / Linaro decides", but our (Linaro's) impression is that we should try to get this transferred to TrustedFirmware in some way. Linaro will certainly be involved in that kind of work in the future also, but we believe that the directions should come from TrustedFirmware.org instead of Linaro. This might even be something to consider for all TF projects? I.e., not only OP-TEE? But again .. if time permits, otherwise we can push it to another call.
A second topic is related to CHERI [1] and Hafnium. People working with the CHERI project asked me whether TrustedFirmware would be interested in an open-source CHERI adaptation of Hafnium? So I'd like to get the opinion from the TSC with regards to that. If the TSC is positive to it, then we have a few other things to consider like where it should go, separate CHERI branch(es), official tree with compile time flags? How to staff the activity? Legal aspects? Etc.
Leaving aside the legal aspects which Arm and TF should express a view on, I suggest we first review the CHERI changes.
If they don't put in danger any of the product deadlines and do not increase the code significantly we could consider incorporating them as part of the official tree. However, I believe the changes are based on an old Hafnium fork and add a non-trivial amount of new code - if that's the case a separate branch is a better option to start with.
Best, Serban
Regards, Joakim

So far I have:
* Continuation of Groups.io discussion
