Yes, that's true. Still we have to check if that macro is licensed under the BSD license with advertising clause. According to the macro code there should be a "COPYING-CMAKE-SCRIPTS" file which we must include, too. I quickly googled for "COPYING-CMAKE-SCRIPTS" and it seems to contain an advertising clause if it's the one from KDE. That something I would rather avoid in libftdi. Also the header of the macro mentions the "freetype" library? Cheers, Thomas -- libftdi - see http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi for details.
