This has take much much longer than we ever thought it would take. We are nearly there, there is just one copyright assignment left, which is taking a while to sort out. Once this is completed we will start the work needed for a release. This is not something we can do overnight. It involves a lot of work. Nearly ever file needs to be touched in order to change the copyright notices. We probably need new tool chains, want to merge in the v2 flash branch, maybe pick up some patches which got dropped along the way etc. We need to do a lot of testing....
