Yes. This is completely insane: that you would continue to ask me for advice that should be best answered by legal counsel. I am not a lawyer and cannot give you the advice that you need, but virtually everything that you saw thrown at this argument from me was received from one long ago (and I paid the bills). This community has received nothing but free advice on this topic from me, in consideration of your feelings. I am under no obligation to educate you, and I am getting increasingly frustrated by the fact that everyone seems to think they are right. Each individual must now measure my commitment to the GPL and judge how willing I am going to be to try to defend my rights in OpenOCD, in light of the understanding that I have have presented to date on this list. Please. The debate is over; legal counsel is unavoidable for you, unless you wish to demonstrate _further_ negligence. I do not care what any individual here thinks any longer; unless _you_ are licensed to practice law, you need a qualified lawyers to assess this situation and give you real advice. I have been relaying what I paid mine to tell me years ago, you are getting that knowledge for free, but it is being challenged and questioned. Fine: go pay for your own legal advice. Again, you will continue to be negligent should anyone making money from OpenOCD do anything less than this. I can assure you that they will tell you -- very clearly -- that you should try to avoid any gray areas in the GPL. You are welcome to disregard our advice in this area, but it would be taking a big risk to do so. You could be putting you long-term business interests in legal jeopardy, and I am actually helping to protect your interests in this regard. I should be thanked.
