Ann, we need to separate two issues here: - technical - legal The technical is easy to address and all justifications you and Lauren gave us are technical. I am concerned the legal ones and this needs to have a official statement from Freescale explicitly saying it and taking the responsibility for it. As I said, please point _in the EULA text_ where all this statements are written and I am fine with this, otherwise this is a legal flaw.. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
