If not please remove every line of code I've even written because I don't like the new attitude .. so ner.. Point made ? We can't go around throwing out drivers because the author had a tantrum. Its also trivial to move the decompressor to user space where it should be anyway. Similarly the driver is useful without the binary stuff. Or do we need a -ac tree again where this time -ac is "added camera" ;) Alan
