Well, I raised it as an option the first time around, and seem to be the *ONLY* person who has done any of the necessary legwork (identifying an initial set of 50 developers who'd have to agree to that re-licensing). So I don't think there's any change in tone... Plus, keep in mind that other than a few minor bits for ICEpick support, my contribution (so far?) has primarily been to get the User's Guide into more useful shape. That guide is under FDL, and doesn't link with FDTI code. English, not C. ;) So while I seem to have made more contributions than most of the flamers in this discussion, I still don't think I have any more skin in this game than to want the license to be obeyed. Those folk who advocate license-breaking are sabotoging the project in several ways ... weakening the license does nobody any good. Formally changing it would be OK, if it's possible. - Dave > > However, I don't think it's practical to have one for a release > > that ships in the next couple weeks. > > > > And it may not be practical to have one at all, if there are > > any copyright holders who won't agree (or can't be contacted). > _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
