Farinam, We hope an answer from you, by tomorrow or Monday, for questions at : http://dev.eagle-usb.org/wakka.php?wiki=DevEagleUsbIII Tell us which ones you can answer. Please identify questions that would require more time or more information (which kind ?).
We intend to release eagle-usb-2.3.1 version this week-end (with some corrections from 2.3.0) on the main website, to more people, so that there will be more feedback. It still remains an issue though : the license for distribution. We had no answer from you about an entitled person at ADI to validate that current versions of USB firmware and DSPcode can be released under 2-clause BSD (or public domain - if ADI prefers - __for the moment being__ without source code). When can you identify this entitled person at ADI and get him/her to answer us officially ? As soon as we get approval we could include the chosen license and needed headers where appropriate and make ADI validate it for next version 2.3.x. Is it ok for you ? For documentation about CMV, you'll find our questions as well at the above link. Would it be possible to have the original document rather than a pdf ? Indeed, the conversion to HTML loses some formatting (for example) http://baud123.free.fr/eagle3/ADI_DOC/CMV_manual_20020122-92.html (temporary version) Could it be put by ADI under Gnu Free Documentation License (GFDL) for example ? http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html (or any free license of your choice like CC-BY-SA if you prefer) Indeed, it would be nearly the same guarantee (none) than the current restriction you've put, I quote "This information applies to a product under development. Its characteristics and specifications are subject to change without notice. Analog Devices assumes no obligation regarding future manufacturing unless otherwise agreed to in writing". I'm not a lawyer, though... Furthermore, you could apply your copyright with GFDL : the full-text license could be put page 2 (which is currently empty) and repeated at every footer (as "Copyright (C) 2002 by Analog Digital, Inc. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License". => It means no obligation from ADI on the accuracy of the document's content. Looking forward to hearing from ADI, best regards. Ben'. aka baud123
