The protocol to talk to MPSSE is well known/open (they do praise developers of open alternatives on thier web site) , their driver and dll are distributed without restrictions but not with source code. So it is not GPL but at the same time it does not put any restrictions on my code in OpenOCD. What is the situation with the ZY1000, I assume that all modifications to the OpenOCD source tree are public, but can you guarantee that the code running on the Zylin1000 does not link to anything that is nonopen and thus violates the GPL ?
