I personally do not like DRM and I would rather it have never come about, but in the off chance that a company really decided that they liked the project and wanted to use it as their primary firmware, what would those clauses mean for us? Would a company, for example Sansa, be able to use our code if they wanted to have Rhapsody compatibility (assuming it was open source)? Also, what are the implications of the Patent provisions for said potential company? While they don't apply to us now, I am interested in their consequences and the possible limit that are placed on us and the code. I am just going off the Linux concerns that were raised and I will admit that I have not read the license. It's very possible that these are issues that should not be a concern, and I would be interested to hear other opinions. -Karl On 9/11/07, pondlife <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Erm, tritto.I don't think I've got any (c)s yet, but I'm happy for all coding I've doneto be released under whichever version of the GPL is most useful.--pondlife _________________________________________________________________ Sjekk ut noen av de nye elektroniske tjenestene på Windows Live Ideas—så nye at de ikke engang har blitt offisielt utgitt ennå. http://ideas.live.com
