+1 I'll stick my neck out too. :) I think this could work quite well starting with HAL and RTAPI (which IIRC didn't have quite the license issues of some of the rest of the code), and make a great "excuse" to make the code build more modular in the process. ...and I'm trying to clearly tag everything I write with GPL2+ license clauses, although I'd be happy to switch to LGPL2+ or some other open license if that helps the "play nice with other licenses" problem. Or even assign copyright to LinuxCNC Perpetual Licensing Federation of Concerned Parties (or who/what-ever) if it helps things move forward! :) - -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlGzkLEACgkQLywbqEHdNFzQ2ACggCD+Pco9iv0S+E4rKd4pe10l uMgAoIjmDR5X6LVuVlk7k7a+HbepFV5O =G4GP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
