WinCE zips that I upload?
Absolutely. I'm just stating what I'll do (or won't do) in the
distributable I maintain, but I'm not gonna prevent anybody who want to
waste their time trying to play into a supposedly rigid set of rules to
send patches, as long as:
1. they require zero maintenance from me (or better, are handled by
somebody who actually believes it's worth doing)
2. they aren't going to confuse our users (by multiplying the COPYING
files into the root directory for instance, and leave people trying to
infer the license from these rather than the source)
If you can satisfy 1 & 2, since I explained that I don't want to care
about this crap, and send a patch, I'll have no quibble applying it.
That seems sensible.
Other libusbx committers: would any of you be happy to commit the
attached patch for me?
PS: For the record, we only have a copy of the LGPL in the source
tarball, whereas we also provide GPL sources there for fxload (and the
GPL v2.1 states the same thing as LGPL in terms of license inclusion).
Agreed. However fxload doesn't build for WinCE (I've never tried as I
don't yet have hardware to test it) so there's no need to include the
GPL in the WinCE binaries (for now).

Toby
