I don't know. We should find out. There seem to be 2 votes so far for it not being a problem, but neither they, nor I, are lawyers. I am not counting myself in those votes, because I'm obviously going to be biased. I don't want to cause trouble for anybody. On the other hand, if it's not a legal problem, it would be a shame to disqualify the device support because somebody thinks it might be. Several somebodys, maybe. Somebody(s) who actually does know how the law applies here, sure. There are a lot of pieces of hardware out there that would not be supported under non-Windows OSes if not for of this sort of work. Googling for the phrase "reverse engineering for interoperability" turns up lots of encouraging-looking results. > Segger released the api for the jlink - however it is not available on their > website anymore. Does that mean that that is now a closed interface? _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
