Here is the answer to my mail to the FSF, if you still care: >I think that debian-legal is asking the right quesiton here: is this really what the NVidia hackers are writing? Looking at the code, I guess that the answer is yes. They're probably looking at docs which say "Address of primary frobulator: 0xdeadbeef". Then, just as they're about to write "#define primary_frobulator_address 0xdeadbeef", their boss comes in and says "don't disclose any information unnecessarily." So, they erase that and just use 0xdeadbeef everywhere. But that's just a guess. -- -Dave "Novalis" Turner GPL Compliance Engineer Free Software Foundation I am naturally disapointed by the answer, but I thought I has to mention it for honesty's sake. I'll just watch how the discusion turns out now. Bye, Camille d'Alm�ras __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
