Where in the EULA file it says it is compatible with the next versions? I am not a licensing trusted advisor, nor a lawyer, but it is hard to believe a previous version says it is compatible with upcoming, non-released, versions. Is there a document from Freescale Legal authorities stating this? How a company can have this statement to avoid any possible legal implications due the license change happened in the package or EULA? Stefan change makes it easier to spot those changes and demand the right actions from Freescale to solve them. What you are stating I couldn't find in the EULA file. Please point me the place where this is stated. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
