Approaching the FSF seems like a good thing to try. My only reservation is that this will put more delay into the resolution of this issue, and we really need to get this sorted sooner rather than later. If the FSF route doesn't work, then we should take Plan B. In that case we must also be more careful about what we accept and police checkins very thoroughly. -- Nick Garnett eCos Kernel Architect http://www.ecoscentric.com/ The eCos and RedBoot experts
