Andrew, Thanks for the contribution. I have a spare HP thin client with AMD Geode in which I can give this driver a try, if I find some time available next week. I'm a bit concerned about the copyrights, however, as outlined below. The amd5536.c informs that it is "derived from Bruce R. Montegue's AMD CS5530 audio driver and the Linux CS5535 ALSA driver". I did not find the original source files, but supposing that they are licensed under GPL you will need a written permission from the owners to redistribute the code under a different licensing terms. From a strictly legal point of view, even paraphrasing a code may be considered copy. The amd5536.h contains a license statement but not the name of the licensor (copyright owner), which is mandatory. Anonymous contents can not be licensed. -- cd /usr/ports/sysutils/life make clean _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
