we were able to address the licensing of  src/SerialUsb.cpp<br>

I am afraid that the real problem wasn't solved.<br>
src/SerialUsb.cpp is published under GPLv2, lots of other stuff is published under GPLv3+. Both licenses demand that the resulting software is published under their license. So it is not possible to mix both.<br>
Please also see the matrix of Paul, which is available for example at<br>

Everything would be fine if you license your code under GPLv2+ instead of GPLv3+ ...<span><font color="#888888"><br>
