Tim,
Your license with SBS for the DDK would prevent you from posting your
code. If you read through it, you'll find that it prohibits the release
of any of their DDK code under any circumstances. You could release
everything EXCEPT the API for the card that SBS provides and offer the
rest in o
as someone who claims GPL only or GPL
preferred. The license terms of add-on drivers and products should be set
according to the needs of the authoring person or company, in my opinion.

This will be my last message on this topic. I feel as if this discussion
is going round and round and has no real end or purpose at this point.
I'll quit wasting bandwidth. :-)
If anyone has an interest in adding support for the SBS WAN cards to

All of the code is licensed under either the
Better than a published interface and white paper, we also provide the
direct code itself. You could certainly make a netgraph/SAND interface
module.

re interested, the code is available, and that we've pledged
money toward it, I'd like to see someone in the community start working
toward a solution, instead of complaining about how there isn't one.

My phone number is below. If these cards and the future of the drivers
are as important as everyone who has posted says they are, let's move
quickly toward a solution.

ed above, we CAN license the driver code and the DDK for
development. This means that you could produce FreeBSD drivers which we
could then distribute in a binary form under a free end-user license.

3) Virtually ALL of our customers, save for OEMs making their own
products, purchase complete routers. Going this route would eliminate the
need to have FreeBSD support, as any user would have a standalone router.

If anyone reading this message needs further information, please contact
me directly and I can go into further depth about the EOL cards mentioned
below and their replacements in the SBS line.
