Hmm, I've been following what they are doing for quite awhile, and frankly I dont see why we should move at this point in time. However it is possible to write a KLD module that would provide the hooks for a GGI compliant interface, so you could write such a beast if you want GGI functionality. There also is a licencing problem with GGI, the kernel gunk is IIRC free under a BSD like licence, but the userland stuff are GPL, which we try to stay clear of for obvious reasons. - Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
