Dear Mike, it is Michael who did the main work on the port, however I will try to answer, since it has been my idea to combine Altera Jam player & UrJTAG.

Of course. However, we wanted to provide at least some feature specific STAPL example for people to try. It seems Michael was unable to find a tiny "read_idcode" example.

I understand. I have read the license, but haven't examined it in depth. For a first sight, it seems to me to be compatible with GPLv2. However, we are not 100% sure, so we are providing the patch with a proper licence inside. If the UrJTAG maintainers agree with my oppinion, that the license is GPLv2 compatible, then it is OK to remove the COPYING file, indeed. There is a notice about Altera origins and Actel modifications in README, so there really needn't be the COPYING for UrJTAG release. I have found at least two projects at opensource repositories, claiming BSD or GPL-* compatibility and containing somewhat ported Altera player code, so I suppose that I am not the only one, who reads Altera licence as being compatible with GPL(v2,v3).
