aiui, its being dropped out of main because it is not legal for us or our users to modify it in its current form - not because its current form is a hex blob. All of your arguments deal with the latter issue. I can't legally use this driver to drive my own non-keyspan device and I cannot make changes to the hex to fix a bug or add a feature for my Keyspan device. I'm not a lawyer, but its also questionable to me whether or not the license permits us to distribute it an the the non-free modules package. If you'd like to help improve the situation, I suggest lobbying Keyspan to license their blob under the GPL. You can add me to the list of customers unhappy with the situation - I own a USA-19QW. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
