I'm getting the impression that this is a bunch of companies making a list of "demands" to the Linux community a la: "Make Linux like this so that it meets our requirements and we can make big bucks out of it.", i.e. about them *GETTING* something from the community, but not about *GIVING* anything but a list of requirements... IMHO, with that attitude, they should continue to work with Microsoft... (Who will make up requirements of their own, unless the hardware vendors pay $$$$$$$ to them, which is apparently the money they want to save at the expense of free software developers - disgusting!). > And it does not say anywhere that you will get all the Philips > tuner data sheets you want :-( I don't think they even thought one second about that... :( Regards, -- Robert Schlabbach e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Berlin, Germany -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
