Whining about that fact is useless, even if the majority of users have that problem. Instead of complaining about the status quo (*I* am happy we have something like openocd at all, and with a free license, too!), we should think about what needs to be done to make it available/distributable to windows users. That probably means either re-licensing, or making changes that remove the need for the troublesome DLL. Trying to wiggle around the GPLv2 requirements is no option IMHO, as it makes the project (and/or distributors) susceptible to legal action. cu Michael _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
