As far as I can tell, many such vendors don't have much interest in contributing to the Linux community either. They use Linux code, glue in their black-box binary modules and/or HALs, and engage poorly with the community. It is not just end-product makers, but upstream component, board and SDK manufacturers too. -- Jamie _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
