Fer... You want to be able to make these claims, then I suggest you start conducting regular audits. A small selection, not limited to, but including: src/emc/usr_intf/axis/extensions/togl.c src/hal/drivers/pluto_servo_firmware/pluto_servo.qsf Then I suggest you look for files containing variations on BSD/RA licences before dismissing suggestions as FUD. Then there is: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=38081702 which seems to suggest that there may be non-compliant code added at any time. And from Section 1 of the Xilinix ISE EULA: (c) Restriction. No right is granted hereunder to use the Software to program or develop designs for non-XILINX devices. Which imposes conflicting restrictions on any firmware blobs generated from GPL HDL sources. Now go and do your audit, keep it up to date, quit crying FUD and/or throwing up smokescreens, then if the question of GPL comes up again, you have grounds for a defense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
