(sorry for sending to David only in the first try, this "Reply-To" policy is really strange, and the "reasons" just don't convince me...)
In my country such imaginary problems are often described as "a shot in one's own foot". If OpenOCD aims to be uber-GPLv3-h4x0r-friendly that's perfectly fine, but I just can't imagine majority of vista64 users building their own copy of OpenOCD. That's not just as easy as you think (MinGW + MSYS + like a dozen of different addons + some strange libraries)... These ppl will probably use some other tool which has a GUI (H-JTAG, CrossWorks demo, RIDE demo, Keil demo or IAR demo [whichever works with one's JTAG], manufacturer's bootloaders) just for loading the flash (or whatever memory they have). Or someone will just do a version with FTDI's libraries and distribute it anyway. Sometimes I think that open-source is killing itself... All those rules, and I once thought that open-source is about freedom (here I recall recent "spaces vs. tabs" - jeez...) BTW - there is also a sentence which goes like "stupid regulations should be violated" or something like that. 4\/3!! _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
