Not in my book. That will increase complexity considerably, would require some stable API for those plugins, will motivate vendors to ship proprietary shit (as does Microsemi, violating GPL!) instead of properly contributing upstream. Lose-lose in every aspect. > something like drivers in kernel Many kernel subsystems export useful symbols for GPL drivers only, and also any code specifically designed to run as a Linux kernel module is derived from the kernel and so must be GPL anyway. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ OpenOCD-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openocd-devel
