Interesting. Did you check the licenses and authors?

A search for "ptp v2.1.0" lists PTP v2.1.0 in SF and github. The github repo
seems a more recent version of the SF repo but they seem similar. The PPSi code
is GPLv2 and the SF and github code is 2C-BSD and the list of copyright holders
is different.

Then I hope the copyright is in order.

It is GPL when the other code I have looked at it BSD.
