As an outsider to this discussion - but nonetheless an interested
party - I find this sort of approach really dispiriting. Do I have to
point out that you yourself have been CC'ing the em28xx ML right up
until this very last post?

Accusing anybody of spamming on a subject this important to all
parties - the licensing - serves very little purpose whatsoever, other
than inflaming emotions, and nobody wishes for that.

as a postscript..

 Stop that MPL discussion, I can put that code offline too and update

 I don't want my work to be stolen by linuxtv people in the end. It's
 too easy to look over the code change a few lines and obfuscure my
 work, remove the copyright and that's what I'm concerned about. I
 wouldn't mind about it if it wouldn't happen with that linuxtv
 community.

You can't pick and choose who receives their rights under the GPL and
who doesn't (surely this is one of the benefits!), you just have to
live with it.

[linux-dvb] proxyDVB / Network Char Device

2007-06-18 Thread Alasdair Campbell
Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone ever used proxyDVB to provide access to a DVB
device across a LAN, in a similar fashion to a network block device.
I'd like to access a client's DVB-S card from my VDR server
transparently.

I've setup a version 2.4 kernel box to test this out, and once I've
figured out how to integrate drivers into the kernel I will report
back. :-)
