as someone pointed out in linux-kernel mailling list, http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=105606329823333&w=2 <qoute> atefree() is very obviously based on Unix's mfree(), and atealloc() on malloc(). atefree()/mfree() even have the *same leading comment*. Of course, there are some changes, but the overall structure and many of the details remain. </qoute> view soure for ate_utils.c at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/linux-2.4/arch/ia64/sn/io/ate_utils.c search for mfree() at http://tamacom.com/tour/unix/ even in ANCIENT unix there is code similarity so I think it's worth looking specially when they released it in a BSD-like license, well thats my opinion. > Michael -Dek __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
