The original ID is not > going to be deprecated and/or used for something else, is it? The original id was donated by ftdi without stating anywhere that the id ha= s = to be used with their products. So i used it for the i2c-tiny-usb which = obviously isn't based on a ftdi chipset. I've been told that ftdi has chang= ed = that policy lately. While i don't expect them to actually ask me not to use = their id without using the chips i thought it was clever to switch to an id = i've explicitely bought to avoid future problems with ftdis new policies. = I'll change the id from the ftdi ones to the ones i recently bought on all = my = projects. Just to avoid future problems as early as possible. Does this make sense? Updated patch will follow.
