Hi! Thank you for the warning - I know this might have some legal issues attached, which I will look into before starting the implementation. However I find it very unlikely that it would be illegal to implement a protocol which is compatible with another. If that would be the case, libftdi itself would be troubled too.
I don't intend to use the FTDI chips' VID/PID, and I don't intend to sell these units for a profit either. I am sorry if I offended anyone, I thought that a cheaper alternative would be welcomed by all.
