Comment (by michael):
ive been asked about my opinion about this issue ...
I think it would be wise from newtek to release libndi under the GPL or a
compatible license. The alternative wise thing for newtek would be to hire
a lawyer from the FSF.
Also legal threats for reverse engeneering are not wise. I know no details
of this case but if the impression I got from what ive read is
representative and if i was in charge at newtek i would search for a new
employee to replace whoever sent that legal threat. I mean this was not in
the interest of newtek at all.
about removing or keeping the code, this is the decision of the community
not mine
just my 2 cents as i was asked.
