Hi!, I'm back in my KFV that i let behind, now i looked for (1)non-free firmware, (2) sourceless blobs, and of course the (3)license.
Checking the last packages in drivers/net, i notice that most of Intel Free Software uses the <define> statement and then write all kind assembly language instructions, to use them on later files. I assumed that that is free software, correct in the 3 possible ways, right?. Because of the license. The way they program is "normal" for hardware, other companies work the same way, i believe that's the way to write a program for hardware. An example could be: linux-2.6.24_12.22/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-hw.h (some times is both of any GNU GPLv2 or BSD, we can stick to GPLv2) Also ask about this, it's a sourceless blob, right? linux-2.6.24_12.22/drivers/net/wan/wanxlfw.inc_shipped (I'll rise a bug for it, if apply) I've found some license issues, that i'll study and rise a bug if necessary, by now the drivers/net section is virtually complete. :) Keep hacking! -- Luis Alberto Guzmán García <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
