They can't actually force obfuscation beause the code is under MIT/X11 (well... most of it. We need to clarify the situation of nv_hw.c badly). The nouveau project is deobfuscating the code as they go. Even if their DRI work isn't ready for Lenny, we'll definitely be pulling their deobfuscated code. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
