Thanks. I'm trying to get to an RC4, as I'd like to push some changes for fxload as well, but that'll probably happen tomorrow... or not at all since the release is planned for Monday and I don't really see the point of having a one day RC. NB I pushed the release one day, as I don't think tomorrow will cut it for me. I don't intend to push it further. > I've just realised that the binary snapshots don't contain any licensing > information within them.

I'm not sure I want to apply this patch, as it would need to be fixed a bit since not all the samples we publish in the binaries are LGPL. fxload is GPL. So that means we should have 2 license files, and quite frankly, it's not because people don't see a license with the binaries that they are going to start to assume they're public domain (that is unless they planned to ignore the license in the first place anyway). libusb.h has a prominent license in its header, and you can't develop a libusbx based app without including libusb.h, so if you use the library at all, you really don't have an excuse not to know its license. Likewise, we provide the source for the samples, along with the binaries, so it's _EASY_ to find out what their licensing terms actually are. It's 2013. Not having an explicit COPYING file in every last distributable, when the license name is mentioned all over the place and/or can EASILY be obtained online, has ceased to be the end of the (legal) world.
