Hi All,
jumping on the topic of "the future of OpenOCD", one thing I'd like the core 
group to consider is the license.

Maybe this is not obvious to everyone but the code, being GPL, precludes some 
usages.
I'm not a lawyer but I can't release internal developed code for new silicon to 
any external customer (i.e. not in my company), because an NDAs can't 
"override" GPL licensing.
Something like a BSD license would work great in this kind of scenario, 
otherwise whatever external customer needs to wait for the debugging 
capabilities to be publicly disclosed before we can ship any OpenOCD.

I know this has additional implications and not sure if a change/extension of 
the license is really a possibility for OpenOCD as it is, but it's worth 
considering.

Regards, Ivan

PS we will start shortly testing 0.9.0-rc1 on our side, specifically on Quark, 
will send the results by the end of this week

Subject: [OpenOCD-devel] RoadMap Part 2

I want to follow up on yesterdays' round of emails about roadmap

The question was: What is the roadmap
I want to make sure I captured it correctly

Paul's response was:  
        No roadmap - we try to integrate what people submit
        And we try hard to not break things
        Sounds to me like "maintained mode" - no real development 

Peter & Felipe - commenting on my list of changes
        Boils down to "create a fork and clean it up"
        And they too have been thinking that

David & Andres
        Interested in Aarch64 (something I'm interested in)

It seems:
        Just good steward ship - people are keeping the boat moving along 
looking out for and fixing problems.

Any other comments?
