The Linux drivers need to be GPL so they can be included in the mainline
kernel but we are so far away from that I shouldn't even mention it. The
rest of the stuff needs to be under a MySQL like license in that if you
are commercial then pay up! I think this is what is being striven for so
a revenue stream is built-in to support ongoing development.
Am I wrong?

A better start would be for you to submitt a patch with the code for a
VGA bios to the mailing list. That way we could read it and certify it,
and see if we agree with the code.
Then we could start worry about getting it into the subversion, as there
is no point in having empty directories.
Someone was suggesting that we use some existing code. I think it
might have been from Bochs. Personally, I'd prefer that we had
something under the MIT license. We've had more than one potential
WHy MIT? IIUC the MIT license is BSD-like in that you explicitly give anyone
else (e.g. M$) the rights to take your code & resell it for profit, giving
nothing back (Unlike the GPL which states that everything is given back)...
Or do i read it incorrectly?
customer for our VGA solution come and go because it's not finished.
I'm hoping to work more on it again in a few weeks.
