I should clearify. I mean "nonfree" in the sense they are not "free software" because of the licensing encumberances of the Intel-Dialogic and Aculab runtime libraries, or much in the way Debian has a "nonfree" apt-get repository (and in fact that is also another potential use for this split, so that those drivers could also be made available through Debian), not in the sense they will only be available for a fee.

Subject: [Bayonne-devel] Split off of Bayonne 2 "nonfree" drivers

In cvs I have placed the nonfree drivers (Dialogic and Aculab currently) into a new and seperate package and cvs module, "bayonne2-nonfree". In the future, perhaps starting with release 0.4.1, or 0.5.0, these drivers will be removed from the primary package, "bayonne2".

nonfree drivers link directly against libbayone, which is under the GPL with runtime exception. They also compile and install like they did before, except for the fact that they are now in a seperate package. This does make it harder to use nonfree drivers in "-test" mode, but one can create an appropriate symlink in the bayonne2 build directory, such as something like "modules/dialogic -> ../../bayonne2-nonfree/dialogic" to allow this to be done.

The Bayonne2-nonfree drivers package will probably not be found on the GNU ftp site, but will be provided in the sourceforge download area and on sunsite.
