Just meant that it wasn't really clear what you meant. e.g.:
"then it would be a good idea to check with the list." ... and what?

Just wanted to point out I didn't really understand your message, maybe
I should have been more clear too ;-)

GPL purists (in this case) are the people that are against linking with
FTD2xx.

As said before, I am also against closed source target support, but I
don't consider FTD2xx a closed source target. It's not different from
using a serial or parallel port. You don't expect to have access to the
serial/parallel port driver do you? The "intelligence" is in how you use
the low level drivers, not in those generic parts.
