Haven't heard of Palm pulling apps yet, but they've had more pressing issues to worry about than app licensing. Who knows what will happen later. pippin;559850 Wrote: > Well.

It's always the details that get you:) From the packets I captured it looks like after a bunch of handshake,control and status messages, it just tells to player to open a http stream, is that just a regular music stream that you can ask the underlying audio system to open? I compared the beginning of flac stream w/ the spec and it seems pretty standard. pippin;559850 Wrote: > The problem with the App Store is not really the license.

It doesn't have any LGPL stuff that you could just use as is? GPL is a pain. Giving away your code is great, but forcing people to make their code free too even if your code is only a small part of their code just doesn't seem right. -- wt0 -------------- SqueezeControl for webOS, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78730 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
