that should have read as: ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/network/upstream/20.02.00k29/qla3xxxsrc-v2.02.00-k29.tgz > 2) Why do we need another license? I believe he is referring to this one: ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/network/upstream/2.02.00k19/LICENSE.qla3xxx which is QLogic's boiler-plate license for drivers which support hardware that can potentially be programmed with an external firmware blob. In this case, the QLA3xxx boards currently run with the 'onboard' firmware image. Above and beyond the standard GPL licencing of the driver sources, the license goes further and states that any firmware-blob will be licensed under the three-clause BSD license. This is similar to QLogic's FC driver: http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;h=9e15b4f9cd289f116a1448986847a6313d13bf5f;hb=a8bd60705aa17a998516837d9c1e503ad4cbd7fc;f=Documentation/scsi/LICENSE.qla2xxx -- av - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
