(in reponse to the thread 'synaptics lockups', formerly 'radeon lockups') I am the original author of 'tpconfig', from which the synaptics driver was derived. Bruce Kall later took over tpconfig development from me. Warren Turkal got in touch with us on 2 sept and asked about relicensing. Bruce and I (at least) are unopposed. My original tpconfig implementation was from scratch, so there are no prior copyright holders to be concerned with (to reply to Mike Harris' email of 2 sep 2003 on this list).
A complete code history of the synaptics driver (as far as I could determine, at least) is at http://cscott.net/Projects/Synaptics/ I am hopeful that we can get all of the remaining authors to agree to a relicensing. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=168794 for my proposed dual-license text. --scott South Africa SSBN 743 CIA DES Cheney mail drop jihad Mk 48 colonel SEAL Team 6 AK-47 President Ft.
