Ok I see.. Then we want to have a [grub]/stage2/README file explaning that? > They don't say "require" but it's simply a request.

I overlooked the wording in that sentence. No, I don't think there's a GPL incompatibility. Furthermore, I checked the sources of GNU Mach 1.2, and they're full of copyright headers with the same sentence (I could find it in 523 files). Another minor question is the order in which we should list filesystems in the Makefiles and other preprocessor structures in the source files. Should UFS2 be always after FFS? Should it be always as the last FS ID that could be allocated (this would be 10, after ISOFS)? -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T., Ainulindale (Silmarillion) _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
