I have actually seen GPL sources with such byte sequences in it for cases where the toolchain couldn't emit the right opcodes. Yes, but in that case the byte stream was the "preferred form of the work for making modifications to it" per the GPL. In the case of a BLOB, that's not the case. The BLOB code was compiled and assembled at some time, from a source file you don't have.     Thanks     Bruce
