Interesting that you should bring up eCos. Look at what happened there. *LOTS* of closed source packages to eCos exists....
I'd hate to have closed source targets + interface drivers in OpenOCD and if you use the eCos license you'll get that for sure. I know there are hardware vendors who's aching for it. Look at the www.vinchip.com guys. Where is the OpenOCD source code that they wrote? You'd have to be careful as the devil to make a license allow FTDI non-GPL compliant code for the purposes of USB while not mentioning FTDI specifially and avoiding targets + interface closed source. Another stated policy of OpenOCD is that all hardware vendors are equal. So neither FTDI, nor USB could be mentioned in such an exception. It's a million times easier to just fix this technically than to try to solve this with licensing. -- Øyvind Harboe Embedded software and hardware consulting services http://www.zylin.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
