ps. (Possibly this belongs on the pilot-link mailing list but here it goes.) The MPlayer site has a list of those applications that are known to use its code without permission so that they can be avoided, is there any legal problems with doing this on the pilot-link site?

I'll have to run that by the attorney first. It isn't really something I want to do, making a blacklist like that. Blackbox also has a "Wall of Shame" for violators on their website.


Incidentally, have you ever heard of a product called "MissingSync"? It is the "defacto" replacement for Palm's HotSync on OSX platforms... the hitch: MarkSpace, producers of MissingSync, is using libpisock (the core library behind pilot-link) as the core library driving their product. We have their modified sources here, but we did have to ask for them. There's a few fixes in there that we could have used to help users in our community, but we've completely deprecated all of their fixes with our changes in 0.12.0 anyway.

In fact, they're the ONLY company out of the 5 that we know about personally, that have admitted to using pilot-link, and the only ones who are using it in compliance with the license. This fact will be made very prominent at the next pilot-link release time.

The irony is that Palmsource granted MarkSpace rights to be the "official" replacement of Palm Desktop/HotSync on OSX. Tee hee.
