The latter I can agree, but please, what is the link between a driver violating the GPL and the interdiction to distribute this driver? IMHO this is nowhere written in the GPL, can you please tell us on which facts/laws/licences this conclusion is based on? > For obvious reasons, this isn't something the company wants to > do.

But to get this choice, the distributor has to deliver the binaries, too. Ciao Siegbert P.S.: Sorry Rebecca, I forgot to change the To: to the list, so you will get this twice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
