Yes well I had to call the EDS folks directly to get the relevant
information on T8A implementation. However, the docs they sent me didn't
contain any licensing information; neither did the EDS tech support guy
mention anything (even after I mentioned that I intended to use the info to
mod owfs).
Unfortunately, I'm not learned in the ways of computer science, so I really
don't know much about this whole licensing deal. Would you like to take a
look at the doc they sent me? Or should I call them and ask if it's
permissible to include my code in owfs?
