In the beginning of my openocd usage, I only had parallel port dongles, so I only configured and built for those dongles, and never even noticed those FTDI libraries and especially not their license - I did not have them on my system, I did not need them, and I did not need the parts of the documentation that referred to them. Now I don't say that I would stand in the way of a relicensing, but I think your above argumentation is not valid. If a solution is needed for those poor windows-only users, it has to stand on a sound legal foundation. cu Michael _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
