Looking at the list, this somehow reminds me of those heated discussions about GPL and D2XX. https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/openocd-development/2009-June/thread.html Last one by Zach Welsh. http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/openocd-development/2009-July/009518.html Both side of course have their points. Personally I am more with the opinion of adding the D2xx linking exception which Dominic, Rick, Spencer, Magnus Lundin and others agreed. On the other hand, Øyvind Harboe, Zach Welsh, David Brownell and others are more with the pure GPL side. In the end, it is not possible to relicense OpenOCD to add D2xx linking exception. After that discussions, Dominic Rath (original author), Rick Altherr (0.1 release manager) and a few others quit the project. Zach helped the 0.2 release as the release manager and then disappeared and the briefly appeared again as a Codesourcery engineer assigned to Linario and then disappeared again (I think he is no longer on Linario) The late David Brownell helped the 0.3/0.4 release as the release manager. Anyway, this is just history and I have no intention to bring back the discussions again. I tend to think libftdi-1.0 async support should be introduced (just like UrJtag) and then bridge the performance gap between libftdi and libftdi-1.0. On the other hand, libftdi-1.0 is not yet formally released and it will also depend on libusb-1.0.9 release for Windows users which the latest OpenOCD maintainer Peter Stuge is the maintainer. Now somebody needs to step in for the 0.5 release. :-) -- Xiaofan _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
