The complaints Manoj raises are mostly missing sources for firmware. While I accept the legal and ideological issues at hand, does it really make sense to require firmware source? On the other hand pieces like the first one "We would prefer you not to distribute modified versions of it and not to ask for assembly or other microcode source." are definately warning flags. As Manoj indicates their request is just that but it walks a fine line. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
